The vacuum wipers on Brian's '63 Scout are getting a vacuum ball AND the line coming in will be tee'd with a manifold vacuum source and ported vacuum source with check valves. Not too likely to run out of vacuum with it unless the motor stalls.

My Classic wagon has vacuum wipers, and I've not had a booster pump for
well over a decade of driving. It requires skill and luck, but it works.
They stop going up hills though, which still amuses me (OK I'm an idiot).

The AMerican has the booster pump, and it seems so aerospace-advanced to
have wipers that work all the time!


PS: My Classic has fuel injection and vacuum wipers! How's that for
anachronism!
