Rick and everyone...   The wires are long gone. The car had been gutted out. dash and everything is long gone. I custom fabbed up a dash panel and have all aftermarket gauges. The car is gonna see a lot of drag strip time, but I figure it would be nice to have the wipers since they weigh so little

It is definitely suppose to be adjustable. My car is home in the garage, so I can't look at it. But if yours is that messed up, I'd replace it. It should not be difficult to loosen/tighten. Junkyards should have plenty of suitable donors. Make sure that you have the bumpers adjusted

Speaking of wiper motors... Anyone have any pics of the wiper motor on a 68 that they could email me off-list? My 68 has no wiper motor or linkage/transmission and I have been searching for one in the junkyards. Can they motors be taken from any other vehicles? I looked at a 71 and it looked like a

I guess the "bolt" I'm refering to is the shaft with the knob on the end coming from the hood that fits into the latch. The "modification" is that the nut (at the top of the shaft) has one side rounded off, and another face that has a bump on it, preventing the proper size wrench from being applie
