DSE wiper installed in the 67

[Jim Nilsen]

Here are a couple of pics of the wiper motor install I just did. It was very easy and worked out very well from what I can tell. No windsheild or blades yet but everthing moves just like it should. The wiper motor is now in the glovebox area on the passenger side.

Sweet job Jim, how is the noise?

[Jim Nilsen]

I wondered about the noise myself and after I got it running it sounded a little loud but then it was just installed. So now that it is done and the pivot points are all lubed up it is so quiet you can barely hear it over the radio if at all, and when I compared it to the new car it was about the same.
I once changed a wiper motor in a Ford truck years ago that was mounted in almost the same place. I thought it was a stupid place to put one compared to my Camaro but after all of these years and doing it myself I now understand why they put it inside. They didn't want it inside the hood!!

All in all I think there is room for anyone to put theirs in the same spot if they want to give up some glove box space.

Nice job Jim!
That looks good! We have a 64 chevy II here at the shop we were talking about doing a cable driven wiper motor that mounts inside or doing something like what you did.
Thanks for sharing!!

To position the arm I just used a pencil and stuck it thru the hole in the arm and rotated it around until I found the clearance I needed and called it good. Then I shortened up the connecting arm to the park position. First I had to make sure that the centerline of the motor was close enough to the connecting arm and then a bit closer for alterations to the angle and rotation of the connector. You also have to keep positioning the connecting arm over the wiper motor arm to make sure you have clearance or use piece of rod or a stick.
The DSE arm is configured in a way that if you needed it to be shorter in height it can be cut and welded back to itself and still keep the same radius . It was a well designed arm after looking at it and contemplating whether to shorten it. I decided to lower the wiper motor a bit and not cut it but I could have moved the motor up if I had shortened the height of the arm.
If you have any more questions let me know, I have other pics I could post or send you.From what you are telling me you have already positioned the arm over to the passenger side, from there yo just move it all the way from one side to the other and mark each spot, then measure for center. Like I said earlier I moved it in a bit more to make it easier to reweld the arm.
