I think the lt1 arms are push on and the LS1 arms are held on with a nut? It seems you would have to replace the pivot also. Anyone else know for sure??

Can anyone shoot a pic of the LS1 wiper setup, at the pivot point, at least?

Well i found out that the 98,99 camaros have the same wiper motor as the lt1
They had different ones in 00-02.My camaro has a nut holding the arm on.I think im gonna go to the junkyard and get them and see what happens.There was a complete ls1 there the other day i couldnt believe it.Hopefully its still there lol

Can't say about the wiper arms, but Rain-X blades will fit on my '97 Z28 and contour pretty well.

Otherwise I would LOVE to get my hands on the engineer who came up with this backwards design.

What am i missing? I always thought my wipers worked really well for such a big curvy windshield. just your basic rain-x wipers from the local parts store.

what do you guys mean by reverse hook?

edit: ahhh the metal hook that a grabs the actually wiper....but still, usually when you type into the mini computer to find your blade part number at pep boys the camaro blades have an extra letter on the end of the size like 24"R instead of just 24"....anyways im just trying to say i've never had problem with them fitting or anything....

........and if i could choose which engineer to strangle it would have to be the optispark guy, not the wiper tech, haha..
