Windshield Wipers + Arms

Ha - sounds like you've got the originals!

I have the originals on my 275 - they are downright lousy. Will look later to see if any useful info is on them.

 

On the day I replaced the springs with tighter ones which I remember helped.
I also attached a small airfoil which helped as well.

 

I've been careful to save the OEM wire arms, as putting a big modern blade holder on there definately will add to air drag......

The airfoil clip would be a good idea, my 22"ers on the T/A have a BIG honkin' plastic one, to hold em down.

Matt at Reoriginals has the wire style ones, last I noticed.

Did you keep a record drawing of that airfoil you made, Jim????

 

I think I got it from a Ford LTD wiper arm which also had a washer sprayer built into the wiper. Got it from JC Whitney. Never did try their coil that tapped into the coolant line and ran throught the wiper fluid res. but it looked interesting. I was afraid that it might crack the windshield when I after I parked my 275 GTB outside overnight in Vermont. I do remember starting fluid fired her right up even when it was 20 below. You did have to remember to block off the rad. with cardboard for the first hour or so.

 

Just heat trace tape the engine block, and plug it into the neighbor's outlet.. after dark...
