One thing I do want to mention is that with a motor that makes good 
vacuum, a good booster pump, and a good wiper motor, the wiper speed 
difference going up hill (or accelerating from a low speed with the gas 
pedal mashed down) is very, very small. It's hardly noticeable on either 
of my Americans. It's slightly more noticeable on the wagon since it has 
a 199 and an automatic but it's hardly worth doing anything with.
