Hey guys - I had Jules restore a 3 speed wiper motor from my 72 Challenger. Got it back and looks great, but the linkage does not line up with the stud on back of the motor. The motor was in the trunk of the car when I got it, so I can't confirm how it was connected before.
The part # on the motor is 3431624 and the part number on the arm that slips over the stud is 3431635.
The motor is in park position and the arm is about an inch too far forward to slip over the stud in back of the motor. An ideas for me? Thanks

Being unfamiliar with the wiper set-up on a Challenger, I don't know if this will help:
I'd start by double checking that the motor is really in park by running it and then observing that the motor arm reverses when switched off. Then I would remove the wiper arms and see if I could then attach the arm by moving the linkage. What I'm trying to say is don't assume that the wipers (if installed) are clocked correctly.
The linkage arm that attaches to the motor arm... is there a plastic bushing at BOTH ends?

Thanks for your responses guys. Well, seems as if I made a rookie mistake. I was trying to do this with the wiper arms installed. I removed the wiper arms and voila, its a perfect match. Thanks again!
