Could it be the wiper door solenoid below the dash by the tach ?

Normally, this is caused by a faulty check valve in the vacuum line coming directly off of the intake manifold(or rear of the carb), in the vacuum line that feeds the headlights and wipers.Could be any one of the other components in the system, too. Just have to start at the source, and go down the line until you find the one component that is leaking/faulty.
I have some vacuum troubleshooting info I can e-mail you, if you would like. Just lemmie know.

After doing a few test looks like it's the vacuum check valve. I'm getting air flow in both directions. Ordered new Trico valve should be in a few days.
