Wiper motor rotation

Just finished a '65 442 and tried the windshield wipers and the shafts rotate in the opposite direction then they are suppose to. What did I do wrong?

You have the arm that goes on the end of the motor 180 degrees off. Ask me how I know........

It didn't take long, as I was in the process of installing the motor. I guessed at the position of the arm - wrong - flipped it around and the wipers worked fine. The biggest PITA was finding that little clip that popped off to who knows where............ turned out it went down the fender well and I had to take off the kick panel and the vent to retrieve it.........

Gotta love the tri-carb!! What are the white wires routed along the inner fender?

Engine is a "A" block 425. I have another "A" block with tri carbs for my '65 442 convertible and a 455 with tri carbs for my '68 H/O.
