Wiper problems on 76
I just joined this forum a few days ago to help with a some of the problems I'm having with my vette right now. When I bought it the wipers didn't work so I replaced the wiper motor and they worked for less than a minute and then starting only moving about halfway. I tried to turned the switch off and they just kept going, so then I turned off the ignition and they were still going. Eventually after a few minutes they stopped. I would appreciate any feedback that may help identify what I need to do.

First check for a hot wire as suggested in the above post. If that turns out not to be the problem, and you are saying the wipers keep going with the ignition off (key out to be sure), it sounds like you have an ignition switch problem.
