The groove in the arm is way smaller than the arm that came with the wiper motor as you can see. My B body arm Arm that came with the motor Correct arm on top. I would try to use the arm that came with it, but the plastic cam that attaches to the long arms doesn't fit on the spud as you can see. They are very different. I've got the body of this unit restored. Can I swap out the big drive gear inside the housing so that my arm will fit? Does anyone know what model car this wiper mechanism goes to? I’m listening.

I did a bit of digging on the web and it does look like the slot on that arm is bigger on the 68 back cars. I guess I'm off to dig for a modern motor. I have this motor all bead blasted and painted up. I'm wondering if I could just swap the gear so that the arm will fit. Any ideas on which year motors will work on a 70 coronet? I’m listening.

I've got a bead on a 1972. Almost wonder if it would be worth it to just swap out the two transmissions or just start over for that matter. I’m listening.

How will I know? ns1aar, the arm that goes to the wiper motor says V Speed. I am assuming this is the bushing I need. I ordered a bushing from R/T specialties. After going back and looking, it appears that the hole offset completely backward from the original piece. Is this for a two speed motor? look at it next to the cam that was on the wiper blade setup. I’m listening.

The bushing you bought is for a 2sp but I've heard that it will work on a 69-70 b-body. Other than being dirty the one you have looks fine. If you could post a pic of the switch plate we might be able to see if its clocked right NS1AAR

I went to the local You Pick yard and picked up this. It came off a 68 imperial. it looks like the one in the picture. The metal plate it sits on is there to create a pocket covered by a rubber boot. The imperial has it's linkage external under the cowl vent. Will it work? I’m listening.

I have what you are looking for NS1AAR
