wipers in time
The wipers have been off my 67 for quite some time and I am having a problem getting them set in time so they don't hit each other. I know the right goes on top can someone help? Thanks

Your Assembly Instruction Manual will tell you how to set them up. This is from '63; '67 may be the same -- not sure. I forget what D.L.O. stands for -- somebody here will know.... But its a reference line for setting the wipers' "at rest" position as shown in the lower right of the picture.

This is some advice I got from John H. when I had the same problem and it worked perfectly:
I have my blades set so the tip of the driver's side blade is 1" above the top edge of the reveal molding, and the tip of the passenger side blade is 2" above the top edge of the reveal molding, and the blades are parallel to each other when parked (use the slotted adjustment screw on the top edge of each arm to adjust their angle).
Best of Luck

DLO is daylight opening. it's the area of the glass that you can actually see through after it is installed and all the trim and rubber is in place. VS the entire glass which of course is larger.

Thanks for the help just came in from trying to adjust them and got them close. I adjusted them about where Classic Chevy Guy said and they worked fine so will leave well enough alone. Thanks again for the help.
