When I bought my 70 MGB, the dash had been completely removed, so before
putting it back together I took advantage of the easy access and took the
wiper assembly apart. I heard someplace that it's a real dirt magnet. It
was so clogged with thick old grease and dirt that it would never have
worked if I had ignored the cleaning.
This may also be your problem. If you can get at them, remove the wiper
boxes and the wiper cable assemble. Clean thoroughly in a solvent and
reinstall. Assuming the motor is in good condition, that may solve your
problem.
Hope this helps,
