Thumbs up Windshield Wiper Sweep Angle on 56 F100?

Man, this forum is great!

I am starting the installation of a aftermarket windshield wiper kit on my 56 F100.

Can one of you 56 owners out there tell me:

1. Wiper "sweep" angle for the original wipers?

2. What direction do wipers sweep and park (i.e. do they both sweep to outside at same time and then both park at center)?

The kit I am installing is from Specialty Power Windows. If any of tou have installed their kit on your 56, can you tell me what sweep angle you set the motor for??

I have a stock wiper setup on my 56. The wipers rest on the lower windshield trim rubber and point at each other with less than 1/16" between their tips.
They both sweep to the outside and the wipe angle is 97 degrees each.
