Wiper Malfunction
I have about 2" of slack in my wipers. I can grab either wiper blade and move it up and down. When they are on, they slap like crazy. Getting to my wiper motor is a pain becasue I have underdash air. What do you think the problem is? Linkage or motor ? Thanks!

Well which ever it is its a pita to get to to fix.
The mounts themselves can be bad, arm bushings or the pivot arm. The main drive can be stripped in the motor...Either way the repairs have to be done by removal.

Did you check to see if the pivot nuts are tight? I noticed the same amount of slop in the 66 across the street and found the nuts loose. I tightened them down and it pulled most of the slop out. I did do the 2 speed swap as well and didn't find any issue with under dash linkages.
