Default '70 Vette wipers how do you set them up?

Got caught out in the rain for the first time in a few years and it reminded me that the wipers need some setting up. Everything is working but the blades especially the driver one will hit the windscreen trim when the wiper is at full travel. Anyone know a good method to get this setup correct?

it is detailed in the AIM on how to adjust then using the set screw.

Otherwise have a look on Willcox's site, he would have the technical paper on there.
