As for the wipers, the parking in the middle, is a timing problem with the arm on the wiper motor. I know how to fix it, but until I can look at my '71 I can't explain how to do it. Let me reply after I get home tonight from work. It may be simpler since you don't have the air box in place. It will be a matter of parking the wiper, taking the arm off the motor, putting the wipers at the bottom of the windshield (where they are supposed to park, and putting the arm back on the motor. WARNING, WILL ROBINSON, WARNING: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES BEFORE WORKING ON THE WIPER MOTOR. I saw a guy lose the tip of his finger in the linkage one time. That motor has a lot of torque due to its gear reduction. Russ Wolfe russ_wolfe@MAHLEParr.com Mahle Parr Filter Systems 505 E.
