What is the secrete to get windshield wipers to sweep the correct way from park to sweep entire windshield glass on a 1953-55 Ford F-100-- Thanks

What brand is this 12 volt wiper motor ?
Is it made in the USA ?
Can you call the manufacturer and ask a technician ?

When I did mine on 55 Crown Vic, I left the wiper arms off, cycled the wipers a few times and turned them off. This moved the shafts to the park position. Then install arms back on shafts in the park position and you should be good to go.

I did keep wiper arms off but after 18 tries putting pivot arm in different positions I tried the wiper arms every change and the most I get the wiper blade to move only 1 1/2" off park--All linkage is correct and motor is NEW and correct install ? ?

Is this a kit you bought or just a wiper motor that you installed?

If a kit, get back to the manufacturer/seller.

Be sure you got the arms on the correct sides.
