Nicole, since you have a 68, there are some very minor differences with the wiper door system. The 68's do not have that vacuum valve mounted on the cowl. Sometimes the door could come down and trap your wipers before they parked. That is what that valve is for. The door linkage is free standing on 68's and in 69, I think, they added two little brackets on each end that screwed to the cowl to help support them. The 68 long wiper door trim is not secured at the ends of the door. Later years have a rivet or screw securing the ends of the trim to the door. Lou.

I can’t seem to find this part number looking through the vendor magazines and online.

what is the gold mounting piece that the windshield wiper arms bolt into?

The call it a transmission I believe. might only be available with the linkages to the wiper motor as it's staked together.
You should maybe get a hold of David (AllC34Me) he might be able to help you out

Oh, and someone else is going through this right now, careful with the actual wiper arms, 68, 69-73(74e) and then 75+ are different. Not just for NCRS but the 68-72 cars usually need the right arms because they have an adjustable point that lets the door work right. Later ones can be made to work with screwing around

I don't know if anyone sells new wiper transmission assemblies... Lots of used ones around
Checked the AIMs I have and the same part numbers are on 68 through to 74, I don't have a 75 AIM ?? still the same in 77, that's the latest one I have. Based on the link caskiguy posted looks like they changed something in 78
I have a set here but that's a long ways from you, reach out in the parts section or contact David

Thanks for the input.

I’ll hold out hope that that can find my original hardware at the shop.
