hellllp- wiper issues. serious problem in Canada
 

Hi, its winter, my wipers are not functioning. I have the motor and a switch out of a 83 electra but someone before me has drilled a hole in the drivers side arm and screwed the whole thing up. when I hook it all together I get about half an inch of stroke. I have the Haynes manual but there is no pics of the assembly. I think I need a new drivers side pylon and possibley the whole setup. my guts just tell me its all wrong. Annnnnd no one in this town seems to know what is compatible from one make to another, is there a parts bible with this info? my car is 79 88 4 door. I dunno if its pulse or not. for arms I don't see why that would matter thanks for your time.
