You could use a UC item.

The dwell knob would need to be put somewhere though.

Look for an SL/E.

I used the UC setup in mine easy to install if you have a basic understanding of wiring. Bosh also do a universal dwell unit but they are starting to get a bit harder to buy new. I hooked up mine through the high speed wiper circuit.

I've used a dunnydore blinker stalk with dwell switch  setup from same model vb- vk with a couple of relays. Works fine with standard motor.From memory I have a sle uc switch and had dramas so went the vb setup.

After reading much around here about the blinker/ind. stalks ect. i got the impression that LH had a foot operated hi/lo beam switch with wiper switch on the dash?whereas the LX had hi/lo beam on the stalk with the wiper switch on the dash ?, the the mighty UC had wipers and hi/lo beam on the stalk.

 

Then i had a look at the plugs of the switch gear in coffee pot to main harness from LH,LX,UC,como.(unsure of model como, but the como. setup had a different plug from the rest) , and the pinouts  from LH/X/UC to main harness were all different ?

 

easier just to make up or buy an intermittent wiper gizmo and wire it in to the existing circuit with a dwell control in an unused spot somewhere handy with the right switch gear to make it work in both int. and "normal" modes.

Is a Torana wiper motor a "self parking" type?

 

If so there is the Hella 7010 kit and the knob even looks like it might suit an LX too...

sl/e looks a bit to upmarket for something from GMH...what were they thinking

UC's were the transition Holden from Torana to Commodore.................Unique vehicle.

I would assume the UC unit should be just that anyway, early Commodore (e.g. VK) are definitely stand alone (aside from wiring to the wiper motor of course) and work fine

That dwell housing ran a bell in my old feeble brain and I have one or two some where in the shed

 

 

AND this thing which is for the pump up shocks and I may have the diagram for it

I was thinking that the stalk was replaced with UC setup and that the int. function was operated from the stalk....got me wires crossed..my mistake.

I fitted a uc intermittent control up to vb commodore switch in my lh years ago and my brother did the same in his lx. Worked well. Can't remember why we did it that way but don't think it worked with uc switch knob.

[76lxhatch]

The Commodore control box is an opaque white colour & is not interchangeable with the UC, HZ control box (the black box in RODOMO's picture)

Unless you adjust the wiring to suit of course

Just a question about the UC that had the int. wipers fitted , was the int. function a "switched" position on the stalk that enabled the

int. wiper function to work rather than the spring loaded one shot on the others ?...or did they use the same one shot spring loaded switch to trigger some sort of latchable circuit that was then de-latched by doing the same as if to turn the int. on again ?

^ switch on for int. with adjustable dwell ?
