BTW the car did not melt or self-destruct. In fact, it ran pretty well in the rain.

Do you have original blades (metal part)? My 84 Z51, 91 ZR1 and current 94 wipers never hit the hood edge. My issues were binding despite many attempts to sync right and left.
Recently I went to Valeo style and resolved binding.
