I'm going on a roadtrip on Sunday with my '73 Duster. Anyways, it's supposed to rain and upon inspection of my wipers, me and my dad realized a piece of the linkage is missing. After 2 trips to the junkyard something is still not going together properly. Could someone please if they could take some pictures of how their linkage goes together? It would help GREATLY!!!

These don't show the clips and bushings, but here's how the linkages go together. The view is as if they were installed and you are in the car. The big hole to the lower right goes on the drive motor. The last pic shows where you can drill and tap for a grease fitting for smoother operation and a better water seal.

Thats a good idea on the grease fitting. I redid all the seals on mine and even sealed em up a bit with some silicon under the seals to make sure but the pivots still leak. maybe some heavy grease would stop the water from that area.
It surprising that A bodies have so many areas that can leak, and usually do


Life's a little bit better when you hit a Camaro.

The focus of this shot was not the wiper linkage but you might be able to see enough...

Thanks guys! Those pictures are a big help....one question though, is the wiper motor supposed to be spinning all the way around?
