Guys,

I need to know what I need to get my windshield wipers working on my '73 Charger. I have the pivots/motor and the metal linkages themselves that go from the motor to the two pivots.

What kind of clips do I need to get these attached properly and where would I find these? I haven't had this together in years and I have no idea where any of the clips are. :-(

Any pics or intel where I can find these? Anybody have some extras to sell??

Thanks!

When I had my 73 Charger, I had to replace my clips because they had rotted. I actually bought them at my local auto parts store. I don't have a part number anymore, but they were made by Help and fit a ton of different Chrysler products. If they don't have them, they might be able to order them.

Is this all I need? Any clips required or do the linkages just push on?

How many will I need for my car?

Thanks!

You'll have to forgive me as I am not familiar with the 3rd gen B-body stuff as well as I would like to be.

But,,, I believe there is a bushing on the wiper motor crank arm and I think it's different than above

I'll ck the parts book later today and see if I can figure it out.

That should be all you need. As I remember it, the linkages have a ball stud on the end that just push into the clips and snap in. They're basically a ball and socket joint.

BTW, those ebay prices are crazy for those. If Help still offers them, I'm sure they're significantly cheaper.

Looks like the HELP kit only has two of these in each. So I have to buy 2 kits.

Do I need one of these clips?

I don't recall seeing anything like that as part of the windshield wiper setup.
