All of those conditions - which often changed back and forth in a short distance - called for a different wiper speed, especially because I don't have a windshield washer installed and didn't want the windshield to streak. With a windshield washer it might not have been as big a deal, but under those conditioons I would have needed a 55 gallon windshield washer fluid reservoir.

As for the DSE kit, I just took a look at my '67 and '68. The '68 firewall hole for the wiper motor is sort of triangular with very rounded "points." The '67 firewall hole for the wiper motor is round. My guess is that the mounting plate for the '67 DSE kit is different than the '68 mounting plate.

year to year fitment issues include some or all of these:
motor mounting pattern, wiring harness/plug differences, knob cosmetic style differences

Here's a shot of the wiper mounting point in my '67:

Interesting.... well my oval is a lot closer to your circle than a triangle! :D

My bad. I was looking at my project '68 (which is all wrapped up in a tarp) and pulled the tarp aside just enough to take a look. Turned out, I was looking at the wrong hole. I just took another look and mine is exactly like your picture (only not painted as nicely). It's quite diffrent than the '67 mounting point.

Any word yet? I'm ready to buy if you pass on SpeedshopMike's DSE wiper kit.
