The wiper arms were the same from '68-'82.... except for the washer hose. 
Are you have the proper stops and have them installed correctly?

Check part #'s on the wiper arms, wiper motor and be sure you have the proper blades, stops, etc:
There may be a method to adjust the throw on the wiper motor but I've never heard of such.
I never drive my Corvette in the rain, or chance of rain so I have only been caught in a rain storm a few times in many years.
Of course the tops are always stored in my garage so I have no one to blame but myself

My chevrolet shop manaul sayes that the left blade should be 1" lower than the rest block and that the right one should just touch the left blade. On the top side or where your having the problem they should be 3/4" from the chrome mold. After you adjust the bottom side (in Rodger's advice) adjust the wire arm screw until you get the 3/4" and you should be good to go.

Hi,
On the original arms there is a screw that is part of the adjustment for how far the wipers sweep. It's mentioned in the AIM adjustment information.
Regards.
Alan
Here it is on the right side wiper.
