face=Arial>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.<BR>
