Hi C3Starship, there right where you said to look, the wiper motor turns a shaft, the shaft turns a ball that makes thearms go back and forth. The two nuts clamp down the metal piece on the ball.


PS, I tried to upload some photos on photo bucket, it would not work, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, PG.

That turned out to be an easy fix, I loosened the two nuts, then took off the top piece of metal, the slots were longer on one side than the other, I turned it around and put it back and now the wipers work correctly.

The original wipers were ANCO, there replacements hit the hood.
The TRICO 16-2 are low, just like the original.

Thanks for all the help, PG.
That is called the wiper transmission, it appears that Bubba has been at work on your car too.

Congratulations on getting it figured out and de-Bubba-ized at the same time!

The one behind the wheel, and the one in the passenger seat!

If I remember right, one or both of my wiper arms have an adjustment screw that allows you to adjust the flat bar portion of the wiper arm with respect to the part of the arm that fits on the splined shaft.
