I am in the process of restoring my 69 Charger. I detailed all the wiper linkage and installed it on the car. I am changing over to a 3 speed wiper motor. I have the correct motor link. My issue is I can not put the link on to the motor as it wants to move the linkage to far and the rod hits the upper part of the steering column mount. I am missing the page in my parts manual for the wiper linkage numbers. So my question is this. Is the link from the motor arm to the left pivot different from a 2 speed to a 3 speed? Believe me I have looked and rechecked everything else. My original pictures when I pulled it apart show my assembly to be correct. Help.

Problem solved.

I put the motor and crank arm in the car along with the pivots and linkage. When I held the linkage rod to the motor arm I assumed the large link eye would be centered over the arms pin. After I scratched my butt 50 times I said everything is right and went in the house for supper. When I went back out and grabbed the plastic cam, washer and clip to try to attach the link to the motor I had an OH S$IT moment. I just totally forgot the fact that the plastic cam is offset. That's what happens when you take something apart 15 years ago.
