make sure your electrical system is up to snuff. check the battery, the output of the alternator and the wire connections going to your wiper motor. If all that stuff is good, it might be the relay pooping out or possibly even the motor itself. I dont think third gens had incredibly fast wipers to begin with, so that might be your problem too

The 67 had two speeds for the windsheild wipers... SLOW and SUPER SLOW.

And about these wipers coming off the windsheild a lil bit.... R they the right size wipers? When i bought the 93 the guy put wipers on that were to big n it did the same thing. Changed em' and it was good as new.
