Hi Everyone! I am getting ready to connect the wiper arm to the motor on the 1973 Cuda. the connecting arm has a large hole. The wiper motor has a small shaft with a nut on it. What part or parts are missing to hook it up? What do I need? Thanks in advance!

Geeez Louise, you're missing the entire cam assembly.

Yep, need that cam assembly. When you have it, remove the wiper arms from the pivots (wiper arm shafts), remove the 6 bolts that hold the two pivots in place and slide the entire wiper linkage assembly through the driver's side cowl hole. Install the cam assembly (including the arm) onto the wiper linkage assembly and reinstall everything. Then attach the arm to the wiper motor.

I know that wasn't part of your question, but just trying to save you some grief later on. I've tried installing the cam assembly/arm onto the linkage with the linkage in the car. Not fun. Maybe if you have really tiny hands...
