Title: Can you help me place these parts
Post by: john108 on July 19, 2018, 01:45:45 PM
1968 Dodge Charger R/T.
I had them in a zip-lock bag with some bolts.
The tag said firewall, engine side, see photos.
I couldn't find them in the photos.
They look like they could be associated with the 3 wiper motor studs.
IF SO, Which way?
And, Is there enough slack to install them with the linkage attached?

Yes, thats what they are (or look like). They go into the rubber insulators and keep them from getting squashed and collapsing.
This is my 73 motor but you get the idea.

Thank you
I am guessing that they slip into the wiper motor, from the firewall side of the motor, with the longer cylinder into the wiper motor.
What is the 4th Nut for?

Does your '68 have the supports between the firewall and fenders?  Sure looks like the nut that secures the supports on my '74 to the firewall.

Unless those supports are obvious, I don't think so.

No fender supports on a 68. The 4th nut looks like the one that holds the pivot arm on the underside of the motor that connects to the wiper linkage.

I guess I will have to look.  If it is, I probably used it when I rebuilt the linkage under the dash.
I hope I can install those bushings without any under dash dis-assembly.

Yes, that is the Crank Arm Nut. I used the one original one that came off my motor pictured.
Please remember this is a 73 3 speed Charger wiper motor. 2 speed are even a little different but not much. I was just trying to example the bushings.
