Default wiper arm confirmation

Which wiper blade parks first when they shut down? (which one is on the bottom?) My driver's side is the bottom one and I think it is the wrong one. :o Can some one please verify for me.

Thanx Greg, I hope it is the same on my '68. Anyone else able to confirm this?

Hope I'm sending you to the correct place.
Get into Willcox's parts web site. Go to the tech section.
Scroll down the tech list and I think at the bottom of the list of tech questions will see the procedure to check and Set the wiper arms for your car.
OK it's there. I had it but had to find it. It can be downloaded on a PDF file as well.
Step #3 says to position the toe of the Left Hand blade 1 inch below the stop park bracket first the the right blade.
I'm about 99% sure that the 68 is the same as my 70 but be sure to confirm that so you can rest at ease.
BTW be prepared to give your self plenty of time to look thru the tech cause when I looked at it I couldnt help my self and read just about everything that pertained to my 70 (LOL) so needless to say It took me about 2 hours to read all the good info in the tech section.
Good luck.
