Dave Conner's Jointed wiper arms

[Doyt W. Echelberger]

All I know for sure is that my 87 5ktq  had wiper arms that just pivoted 90 
degrees from the hub, and the hood had to be full open to allow it. (Come 
to think of it, I still have the old arms.) On a closed hood, they bumped 
the rear edge of the hood at maybe 15 degrees, I think. That is why the 
ones Dave brought me were so valuable. They had the pivot farther out the 
arm, not exactly over the hub. This allowed the 90 degree pivot, just 
clearing the rear of the closed hood.
