I have a late 1930 coupe and was wondering what the position of the wiper arm should be in the off or parked position? Thanks in advance, Dave
 
Ok folks here is another questions to the original. My original wiper motor had a crack in it so I bought a beutiful rebuilt motor from GRI on the swap. It is flawless but it does park in a different position than the original. The motor that I bought is a Trico which I think is the after market motor. It looks exactally the same except for the srews on the oval cover. when parked the hole in the wiper shaft is horizontal and with the arm I have it will not function as it stalls out to the drivers side. The original motor parks with the shaft slightly off horizontal. my question is what arm do I need to use for the aftermarket trico motor on my 1930 coupe?? any suggestions for wiper arm, blade combos is greatly appreciated.. Dave
 
yes, I dont know how to explain it but the motor parks with the hole in the shaft perfectly horizontal wich puts the wiper arm in a straight up and down position. does that make scence?? I will try to send a picture of what is going on.. Thx, Dave

Something does not sound wright. Does the blade go to the passenger side when it is running? If the blade does not go all the way to the passenger side when it is parked you will have a vacuum leak which will make your engine run bad. Sounds like your wiper has something wrong with it.
