Gonna Need Some Wiper Help

[Bruzilla]

Just when you thought you had seen it all, experienced it all, this happens. Yesterday I go to use my 74 Roadrunner wipers and no bueno. Today I opened the hood and looked in to the wiper bay and guess what I found? About 15 feet of black wire that I had been using to wire in some stuff under the hood that I guess I left on the area near the windshield and part of it got caught by the wipers the other day and it pulled it in and wrapped and knotted it around the motor arm.

The end result was the arm for the wiper blades got knocked off, along with all the parts that hold it on. So I have a motor, a wiper arm, a white plastic bushing, and a thin steel washer. I'm guessing the bushing goes on the motor arm, then the wiper arm goes around the top of the bushing, then the steel washer, and then a C-clip (that is currently MIA) holds it all in place?

I guess you feel like Homer Simpson now?

The bushings are available in Doorman "Help" parts.
Didn't I mention the bushing in another thread to you?
Anyway and regardless.
A tip on installing those bushings in general information.
Insert them in the arm.
Poke a tiny hole in the top of them to let the air out when you squish them on the stud.
If they have some grease on them (advised) they will trap the air and not pop on the stud.

The bushings seem to be fine. What's missing is the C clip or whatever goes on the end of the center of the motor arm and that holds everything on to the arm.

Oh.
I not familiar with a 74 B.
But earlier B's used a metal disk thing with a slot and finger retainer over the slot.
E bodies did too.
But 74 A bodies used those plastic bushings on their motor too.
No metal retainer disk on a A body.

Here's what that 74 wiper transmission looks like unassembled and assembled. (This ones a two speed and have read the 3 speed is different but I've never seen a 74 3 speed one)

Let me know if you need details

That big flat clip couldn't have gotten that far from you Bru

Thanks! This helps. Mine doesn't have those two whitish-plastic pieces. It has one that looks like a combo of those two. I also found a horseshoe-shaped spring that looks like the clip holding the retainer on the arm, but I can't tell in the pic of that's a spring or a flat clip.

 

[Kernel Sanders]

yes there is a horseshoe shaped spring, I didn't take it off the metal part of the bracket, it is a resistance fit though.

I hope I'm not misunderstanding

I just ordered a new clip just in case mine is better at hiding than I am at finding.

I have posted here EVERYTHING I have learnt about the concelead system on 3rd gens. Check every link posted there and will find how the wiper system is assemblied and works for 2 speeds. The parking system is built into the motor, and uses a diff crank and main link arm
