71 Charger 2spd Wiper Interchange

[mrsnicks]

Apologies if this has been done before. I have a 1971 Dodge Charger with a 2spd wiper. Can anyone tell me if other years/make interchange and work? I don't care about correctness, just getting water off my windshield.

70? 72?

I found this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IQXOH1K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2F8QH83YSA2LG&psc=1 and
this, but says won't fit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086DW8565/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A34668PDYO45KB&psc=1

Thanks in advance.

It will have to be 71 or newer due to the fact your wipers are hidden/off glass when parked and 70 on back are on glass park.

I went through this on my 71 RR a couple of years ago. There's some conflicting info out there, but from what I found (after getting a few motors from a few different cars), the 71 is pretty specific to that year. 72 uses a different shaft size where the linkage attaches. The good news is that it's not difficult to take the shaft from a non-working 71 motor and put it in a 72, which is what I did.

I *might* have a spare setup for a '71 on my shelf... I vaguely remember assembling a second one as a spare.

Let me know please.

Yep, I did put together a spare. I didn't clean and paint the outside, but I disassembled, cleaned and greased all the internals. The internal parking cam on these gets gummed up with hardened grease. Shoot me a message if you think it's what you need.
