Evangelos,
You may have wheel boxes from a triple wiper Sprite/Midget installed in
your car. I made the mistake of installing two wheel boxes from a 69
sprite in my 67. To my amazement, the wipers did as you say, they went
from 9:00 to 12:00. The later wheel boxes have a different size gear thus
reducing the sweep on the windscreen. Remember, the triple wiper system
needs to have less sweep to clear an equivalent surface area. Just a thought.
