My 1966 Bronco Roadster has vacuum wipers. I need a repair kit for the 2 wipers and the vacuum pump on the fuel pump. Any help?

My brother used to have a '66 Bronco pickup with the 170/6. Great little vehicle. Wished I'd bought it from him. Anyway, about 20 years ago he was in the same situation as you. The vacuum wipers simply didn't work too well.
We bought some electric wipers from J.C. Whitney and retrofitted them.
Not too sure if they still sell them anymore or not or if anybody else does either. They worked great and still worked when he got rid of it. Anyway, this probably wasn't the answer you were looking for but that's how we cured his problem at the time.

 

I have vaccuum wipers on my 66 and had to redo one to get it to work properly.
After removing it< I simply took it apart. Pretty simple devise all in all. I cleaned all the gunk out , re-oiled it with some 3in1 and it works like a champ. There is even a speed control if the plunger is pulled out a little or a lot.

 

There is no repair kit for the vacuum wipers that I've ever found.
I've restored several of them as 66 RD mentioned, by disassembling, cleaning them and periodically oiling them.

The best fix is a aftermarket electric wiper conversion kit. It will make the wipers reliable, easier to find parts for, and they will work regardless of engine load and vacuum supply.

I have heard of filling the motor with brake fluid to make it more of a hydraulic unit. I did this on a 1951 Chevrolet sedan and the vacuum wipers worked great.
