Intermittent Wiper Control.

as mentioned that is a vacuum governor for the intermittent wipers. if you have your intermittent wipers set at a slow rate,& open the throttle, as when passing a car the governor senses that vacuum drop & it speeds up the wipers until you slow down & vacuum is back to normal & then the wiper speed will resume to the speed that you had it set.
Back when these cars came out there were not too many interstates, so mostly 2 lane driving was normal, so lots of passing going on back then.

Thanks, I was looking through an old owners manual ,It looks like a complex unit,I'm sure not many comets came with it .
