1964 classic 287 fuel pump/wipers

Hi!
I recently purchased a donor 1964 classic for the 287 v8 which has a bad fuel pump according to the previous owner. I haven't fired the engine yet but I take his word. The donor car (287) has vacuum wipers but the vacuum line connects from the wiper motor to the intake and not wiper motor to the fuel pump like my old 196. Does this mean I do not need to buy a vacuum wiper fuel pump for the 287 since it's not direct from the fuel pump to the wiper motor? Thank you!

Doesn't matter if it's a 196 or a 287, the wipers hooked the same way.  Manifold to pump, pump to wipers.If your donor engine has a dual action fuel pump have it rebuilt.

Thank you all for the information!

Note also that at idle the vac booster pump really doesn't make any vacuum. If you hook a vac gauge to the manifold then the booster pump you'll find they are near identical, maybe even a little DROP from the booster (due to restrictions in the pump). It really only boost vacuum much at 1500+ rpm.... like when accelerating and there is little vacuum from the manifold. It will boost more at higher rpm.

If the wipers don't work well with a new pump and the hose connections are good (ends of hoses stretch and harden, don't fit as well over time...), then it's time for a rebuilt motor. 40-50 year old vacuum motors can't be expected to perform like new!! Getting a new/rebuilt fuel/booster pump and wiper motor are about the same as an electric conversion, but it works better. While not delay, they are variable speed, and original to the car. Like anything else, if one part of the system isn't up to snuff the whole thing doesn't work well.
