Wiper Linkage Assembly

When I rebuilt the wiper motor & linkage, I obliterated the orientation mark I had made on the motor shaft/linkage tab.
The Black Dragon catalog diagram shows everything in the exploded view - except the linkage tab.
Can someone post a pic of the assembled wiper motor/linkage to help me with tab orientation - or just tell me which way it points when in the parked position.
TIA

Might you have one like wiper 1 - but on its back? That would be perfect.

I've got a bunch of photos at home from my last rebuild, but here's what I have up on the P-bukkit at the moment:

Before disassembly - - my "index" pic.



Finished:



(Ignore my non-stock wire connectors; had to improvise when the original ones turned to dust years ago.)

Motor re-assembly:


Keep in mind, if you're worried about getting the wipers back in the right place; after you reinstall the rack in the car, just run it for a few seconds, then turn it off normally before you put the blades on. the motor will stop at the appropriate place automatically, and you just install the blades in the "off" position.
