Re: [AMC-list] Windshield Wiper Arm Interchange

[Wrambler <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

IIRC, someone, once upon a time, somewhere abouts in amc rambler land lamented on 
not being able to find wiper arms for his 64 American as that particular car used
different sized splined shafts and he could not locate the correct arms in 
good condition. I do not know if he ever suceeded in freeing the correct 
arms from the bigbad wolf, but am pretty sure that is who had them....

YMMV, (your mileage may vary)
PMBCAABB, (poster may be crazy as a Bed bug).

I do believe Mr. AMC won't have that problem and for the most part newer arms interchange.
