Not a direct answer, but I know Mac's Antique Auto Parts- macsautoparts.com - will rebuild 1948-1950 speedometers. You might contact them and ask if they do others.

Need to verify the speedo itself or the cable or trans gear are not bad.

You might try Mac's Antique Auto Parts. They sell one that fits from mid-year '66 up to '79. Their part number is 48-11853-1. It fits the '66 models starting with serial number 788001.

I assume you've already checked but is the fuse good, do you have power at the motor with the switch on, and does the motor have a good ground conection? Just a couple of thoughts before you buy a motor. YelloThumbUp

thank you for the quick responses, I am not very tech or mechinic savy. The answer is no to checking any fuses or ground connection. I will do that...ty passenger wiper doesn't move and driver wiper moves 1/4 inch and then stops..will look into both suggestions by jasperrc ..will update

If there is movement at all, then there is power supply. Sounds more like possible motor failure. The wipers should move together, but since it is such a minimal movement, it may be just that the linkage isn't being moved enough to move the passenger one.
