Default '77 wiper blade length

Can anyone tell me what the correct length is for the windshield wiper blade. I read on the Wilcox sight not to use 'generic" blades. Mine sometimes collide and say Anco on them. I'm wondering if they are even the right size. They were on the car when I purchased it!

I think what Willcox is saying is that you cannot simply go to an auto parts store and purchase 16" "generic" blades. Their profile will be too high and they will hit the hood lip on movement.
