 I've tried to send this several times and I always seem to run into a snag.
 New to the list since last month, so I may be asking something that most of
 you have seen before, please bear with me.
 
 I have a '53 five window Chevy 1/2 ton that has several modifications, SB
 V-8, Auto, IFS (Pacer), and the worst wiring job in history (almost).  All
 done by PO.  Vehicle has been parked for about five years, so I have lots to
 do before it goes around the block.
 
 Wiring?  Painless, Ron Francis, ???, someone else?  I am total novice.
 
 Looking for inexpensive and moderately easy swap over from old vacuum to
 modern day windshield wiper assembly for my '53 five window.
 
 I saw previous post that said some kits were not all they were cracked up to
 be.  If I need to buy a new setup, I would appreciate knowing which ones to
 stay away from.
 
 Contact me off list if you would rather not name the product or vendor
 on-list.
 
 I also saw someone wrote about going to the "archives";  Is this something
 I'm missing or is it something that person did on their own.
 
 Thanks in advance for all the upcoming information and all I've already
 seen. I plan on doing everything myself so I plan on reading everything
 everyone on this list has to say about all models.
 
 
 'til next time

  If you've got some ambition, be about $15-20 in wire and connectors and a 
Saturday to do the job, believe the kits run in the 200-250 range.

  Good luck.
