Wipers
Hello everyone,
I have a 1973 Corvette and the wipers do not work exactly how I like them too work. They do work, but it travels past my A post, which is leaving marks on my A post. Does anyone know how to readjust them or know of any YouTube videos to help me with this issue?

Go to Willcox tech web site and scroll down to “wipers” and then continue scrolling down and you will see the procedure for adjudge sweep. Unfortunately, I am not smart enough to cut and paste the address. The tech site is still operating, even though it seems the store has closed.

Thank you, I will look at it soon. Since you guys have C3's, I have another problem that maybe you can help me out with. My interior lights for gauges aren't lighting. I can't even dim them! They are just out. I replaced the fuse and just recently installed a new rheostat but nothing. What else could be the problem for my gauges not lighting up?

Look on the General Section of the C3 Forum. There is a post on “No Gauge Lights” that could help you run some various tests to see where the problem lies. Let us know the results from each test.

I figured it out, with the help of my father. I changed the fuse for the gauge but there is smaller fuse at the bottom left of the fuse box that I changed this morning. I believe it was for taillights. I changed that fuse and BAM, it worked.
