there is a device mounted on the rear of the Tach on my 71. It has vacuume lines connected to it. Does anyone know what this is? I want to replace it while I have the tach out.

Wiper door control "relay". Electrically connected to the Wiper Switch and Vacuumly (?) connected to the Wiper door control valve. I hear they fetch HUGE dollars if you can find one.

Cant seem to find anyone who carries them. I did find an article on how to repair them.

Oh no, his website says he is sold out. You could probably use a big-truck fan solenoid. Try your local big-truck parts department. (Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack, Volvo, International, Freightliner, etc.)
