I'm not sure, but even if the hole spacing is the same, you can't
interchange across the 70/71 boundary because the hole positions
moved so much. When the blades park on one side, the holes are offset
in the other direction, so the holes end up being a couple feet
offset from each other.
I have to agree with Jim on this.. Having done this conversion, you really
want to use 70 only parts. The spread on the 71 and later IS that much
more different, adding in that I believe the motor spins in the opposite
direction (or it's because the link is offset enough to cause it). Also, I've
found that the brass sleeves that the wiper shafts attach to the "wiper
transmission" are shorter on the 71-73 models. This is partly because of the
"new" air box design. I suppose you could use the later sleeves and shafts, but
you'd still have to deal with locating the wiper arms as they are much
different between the years.
