Crap, what a waste of time and effort.

I called a local scrap yard and asked if they have a wiper motor for a 1986 El Camino. I figure if I can get one for 20 or 30 bucks and it has the cover and it looks like it is not full of water and rust it would be handy to have on hand. On the phone they said they had several. Off I go to a salvage yard with the name RIVERSIDE right in the name in fact it is their name.

I get there and they want to see my current wiper motor. OK, look and see. They ask me if I will ride with the picker to verify he get the right motor. Off we go into the muddy yard and within a few minutes of looking he says lets get in the truck. I open the door and there is no passenger seat. I have to just sit in the back jump seat. Of we go bounding through the rows of cars. He puts on galoshes and goes tromping through mud and puddles to a car and asks me to come look. Nope, I will not ruin my shoes to look. We look at car after car and none are the right motor.

The skeeters are everywhere. I killed at least a dozen. Three of the little bastages go me but I got even and killed them in the act.

After an hour of torture we gave up. No motor or cover. Three skeeter bites.

My motor is working fine even with all the rain. I just want a backup part for the NLA cover. I really don't care about the motor.
