The switch would have to go .Falcon parts has a 2 speed switch...https://www.falconparts.com/ford-falcon ... -p7102.htm I assume it will fit the stock knob and stuff.i will have to dig out my old one

I may be jumping the gun ,I assume from the chatter the 65 Caliente was single speed wipers . I never had my car on the road long enough to have it in the rain to see how effective the wipers are or aren't .
I drove it to bc from Oregon and thank god it didn't rain looking at the tires it had
I figured since the wiper motor is going to be tucked up behind the vintage air now would be a good time to at least replace the wiper motor, even if it is with a stock one.
Are there other 2 speed wiper options?

From what I read I think the wiper motors from mid to late 70's Ford trucks will work. Not positive but seem to recall reading it on the net.

PSA: A detailed description for installing 1973-79 F-Series or 1978-79 Bronco Wiper Motor + 1978-87 F-Series or Bronco Intermittent Wiper Switch & Wiring Harness was written by Dick Harrington of Comet East under the title Intermittent Windshield Wipers + 2 Speeds.

These instructions imply removing the Comet's (optional) factory vacuum interval system and replacing it with a modern electronic mechanism.
