Windshield wiper motor on 67 ply fury very weak, works only if you pull on wipers by hand to help it. But if wipers are turned off, they go to full power to the park position. This motor is no longer available. What should I try first?

Back in the 60's you could buy a repair or overhaul kit for wiper motors from some auto parts stores. Your motor definately needs to be overhauled. Do some checking around with specialty rebuilders, especially electrical to see if maybe they have a supplier that carries these parts. You could also see if maybe a newer one would fit. Wiper motors didn't change every 4 years like cars did. A local scrap yard should have a parts interchange book that would tell you exactly what else will bolt on or what will fit with a little modification.
If you are getting nowhere then go on-line and check out carsandparts.com. This is a web site for an old car magazine and they have an extensive classified ad section. It is sorted by make and years and also includes suppliers and manufacturers that can provide service for old car parts as well as new parts. hope this helps.
