Wiper pivot arm orientation

Is this the proper orientation of the pivot arm to the wiper motor?
Thanks.

I'd suggest leaving the pivot arm off, install the wiper motor, wire it up, run it, then let it go to "park".   That way you'll know it's in the right orientation when you attach the pivot arm.  You can reach the nut and pivot arm by reaching through the hole under the plastic vent grill cover.

It seemed to me like the arm would only attach one way.  The shaft seems like it is flat on 3 sides and round on one side, but I am not sure.

The Wiper arm does only go on one way.  leaving it off can be easier to get the motor installed on the studs.  Either way works, i have done it both ways on E-bodies and B-Bodies.

The right mechanic with a big enough wrench can install it 180deg out I've seen it done on some cores I gotten over the years
