Default 74 Corvette Wipers

I'm looking into buying wiper arms for my corvette and am looking for help trying to figure out which ones are the correct ones for a 74 corvette?

OR

The guy I bought my vette from gave me different wiper arms that look like these:

off of a 63-67 corvette.

I wish I had a digital camera or camera phone so I could post a pic.

It's not the ones he gave you for sure since there are no squirter nozzles. If you are trying to keep the car "original" looks like you need to figure out if your car is an 'early' or 'late' 74' model year build. If you don't care about originality, the catalogs say the 75-82 arm is a functional replacement for the early arm so that’s the one you would buy.

OK, how would I figure out if it's an early or late model?

Good question. The obvious answer would be anything built after January would be a late build date but I have no documentation to prove it. Perhaps someone else does. The web site listed below will tell you what month your car was built based on the VIN number.

Based on the web site I posted above, that puts it in the February-March time frame. I would say that sounds like a Late 74'.
