So Trey, are you saying you have a '66 and you bought a later model Bronco wiper setup?

If so, first you will have to either re-drill your existing holes in the windshield frame to match those of the electric wiper setup, or modify the link arms to work with the different spacing of your existing holes. Not sure if one is better than the other, but I suspect moving the holes is best.
The size of the holes is supposedly different as well, but I've never done the swap myself, so someone else will probably chime in on that.

The motor is to the right of center in the frame, with the motor body pointing back towards the driver, with the gearbox on the passenger side.

Electrically, you may have to post up a pic of the connector and switch to see if someone can determine what you have. It could be a generic replacement switch, or a model from a different vehicle, or whatever.

Good luck.
But pics will help for sure.

Yep, '66 was a vaccum set up.

To post up pics, and get better info, you need to pay the $12 to become a contributor. It is well worth the investment. This site has endless information. Plus the money goes towards running the site.

Welcome to the obsession.....

Thats intersting, you say its a 66, but the plate on the dash says its a 67.

Looks like it was manufactured in October of 66, which makes it actually a 67 Bronco. Kinda like how they began manufacturing bronco's in August of 65, but there are no 65 Broncos. Just an FYI. Most anything on a 67 will be the same as a 66 though.
