Ric
The later (3 blade) wiper motor mounted on the top of the left inner
fender.
You will need the tube and wiper rack from a 3 blade car.
Position the motor as the rack permits, drill 2 holes and bolt the motor
to the inner fender.
You do not need 3 wipers, you can use your old wheel boxes and under the
dash tube but will need the longer rack and tube from left to motor.
