Up thru '70 the correct size is 14". From '71-on the correct size is 
15". Sometimes people have found that they need to go a little 
shorter than the OE lengths (which were probably metric anyway.)

I don't know why some people haven't been able to use the normal 
sizes. Perhaps it's window gaskets that are a little wider, the arms 
not the right ones, or maybe not all 15" blades are created equal.
