Jack, remember we were discussing fitting the positive switched wipers to the older cars? What did you say about how the motor mounted to the firewall? Did you get it to work?
Here's what Jack said in this topic http://gbodyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=26424about the '84 & up motor- "Yes, when I tried installing the later wiper motor, the mounting bolts did not quite line up to the existing bolt pattern. What I did was set the motor in there and marked where I needed to drill a new hole. If I recall, 3 bolts did line up, one was off. I drilled a new hole and used a nut in that place. I know it sounds crude...or you could try running a tap with that thread in the hole.
And you could also tack weld the nut to the newly drilled hole.
I think the motor is still a little off center. I'll approach it another day. "

Yes Mark,
I did say that. I read where other guys who were fitting the later wiper motor, also had to drill a new mounting hole.
Unfortunately, I did not take any pics during the install process.
If I'm not mistaken, Ben (SRD Art) also had to resort to the same mounting method in his '78 Cutlass Cruiser.
