Again, Thanks, David. Apparently I don't know how to read my parts book.

Hello to all. I finally got to the point where I'm trying to attach the windshield wiper arms to the drive motor, but cannot seem to get things to fit. Does anyone have any drawings or schematics on the exact orientation of the drive motor and then the attachment of the drive arms? I am assuming that the drive motor needs to be oriented so that the vacuum hose attachment is on the passenger side and not the driver's side. Is that correct? However, with it installed like that I cannot seem to get the driver arms to attach properly.
Again, I do thank everyone for their information and support.

Roger, just saw this and noticed it is unanswered. Are you looking for info on the under dash area? If so, I can try and take a picture on my car - as far as I know, that portion has never been apart.

Thanks, Ken. Yes, that is exactly what I am trying to locate. When I think I have the positioning correct, it does not seem to want to work properly. A picture of underneath of your car would be most helpful.
Thanks ever so much.

Hello, again. I should have also said that if a picture is not available, then a diagram of how the control arms attach to the wiper motor would be helpful. As I said earlier, the bends in these control arms seem to go the wrong way and if I try to install the outside mounts holding the wiper blades the other way, they do not appear to install in that direction.
Thanks again for any information you might be able to provide.

This may be applicable to your car since it was in a 36 service letter. The linkage may be the same or very similar in a 37 model.

Sorry for the delay in answering (you know, life). Here are a few of the driver's side. If you need more or better, let me. Passenger side is above the glove box.

Thanks to both of you. This information is exceedingly helpful. I'll print these off and take then to the shop for comparison with my '37, but from what I have seen, these do match.
Again, I do thank you very much for your assistance.
