1968 windshield wipers
I'm finishing on the wiper door, and I think everything is now working. The only question now is which wiper blade goes on top, driver or passenger? and maybe how do you clock them?
Thanks

They can only go on one way. Look at the post that they mount to and line up the key to the key way. The passenger wiper will 'go on top'.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

make sure the windshield is wet, use the wiper door overide and the wiper maintance override to make sure they dont hit on the down stroke..The gross adjustment can be done at the wiper transmission under the wiper grill. Then the fine adjustment can be done on the arms. There is one screw on each wiper arm where the lower fat part meets the thin arm. Again do all adjustnents with the windshield wet. Once they dont hit each other then try and turn them off and make sure they park below the wiper door. The AIM is a good source of info as welll as Willcox

Hi c61,
After installing the arm on the transmission post the 'sweep' of the arms (how close to the windshield pillar stainless trim the blades move) can be adjusted by using screw 'A' on each arm.
Turning the screw pivots the blades a bit so they're parallel to the a-pillar at each side of the windshield.
It's a pretty easy adjustment.
Regards,
Alan
Screw 'A' on the arm.
How turning screw "A' pivots the end of the wiper arm.
When adjusted the blade is parallel to the windshield pillar.
