American Motors/1968 rebel vaccum wiper

Question
my vaccum wiper motor works but has no power to complete a full cycle. How can i repair or find instructions to fix it. I do have access to an electric motor if I have to. Would rather not.
Thank you for any help.

Answer
The best thing to do is to convert to electric wipers. However, if you would rather stick with the vaccuum operated wipers, you will need to contact an AMC parts vendor. i.e. American Performance Products in Cocoa, FL for a new fuel pump/motor. Copy and paste this websight:
