56 wiper linkage ?
 
Does anyone have a photo of the wiper linkage hooked up? I get one side to work properly and the other goes down instead of up. I took pics when I took it apart years ago,, unfortunately the camera I used crapped out on me. Thanks in advance Dean

Try it the other way-switch side to side. I did the same as you- got one to work but other wouldn't. Finally I took the one that would work and put it on the other side and hooked other up and it worked.. Sorry I have no pics. I made sure when I took apart again later I marked them- Good luck!

Is the 1955 linkage the same as the 1956 except for the motor? I think I have pictures of my 1955.

vacuum or electric? And did you mix the 2 together? Meaning did you originally have vacuum motor but swap for an electric motor but used the original linkage. They don't mix.
update what you are using and if it's electric I should be able to get you pics

Greg ,I'll try that switch. Bigwin, it is original electric and same linkage.. If you have a pic, it would be appreciated. Thanks for the responses. Dean

Greg ,I switched side to side and a little rotation and it worked. I do appreciate the help and responses. State inspection tomorrow, I am pretty sure everything else is good. I did take a picture with my phone after I got it working but not sure I can get it from my phone to this thread for future reference. Thanks again Dean
