wiper moving mechanism on "window" or on "trunk" side?

Your post looks incorrect, it should angle away from the windshield so that the wiper arm is more aligned with the rake of the windshield.

On my car it is toward the trunk side. My wipers park on driver's side.

ok forgot about where the wipes rest..is the drivers side! (picture)

SO TOWARDS THE TRUNK SIDE..!! Correct?

Tx for your patients and support!!

That should be correct. I would run them without arms and verify that they rotate clockwise, when looking from the front, to park before installing arms.

They don't run in a full circle just back and forth the predetermined sweep, so both clockwise and anti-clockwise. If you replaced the motor as well the internal gear carrier comes with different sweep degrees from about 90 to 130. The Pantera original is a 95 degree, but you can get away with 105 or 110 and get a bit more windshield coverage. Parking is actuated by a cam on the plastic motor gear, it has two available positions 180 degrees apart on the gear for left or right parking.

Stafford Vehicle Components in the UK has all parts (if you need a different sweep gear) and diagrams of the whole setup on their website.

Julian nice link TX!

Well I hope all works as I kept the original motor and push mechanics. The motor got new commutator "coal" and was working nicely on the bench. Push mechanics cleaned and new lubricating grease added (high end bicycle stuff).

To get the shift mechanism back in is a bit tricky as needs small hands..working on it.
I did buy 2 new wiper axis/posts from the SVC folks. Needed to cut the bushings on the top to the correct angle, as the old once where plastic and broken, using the lower old bushings as still good providing the original angle. The top once are metal now.
And sure I will test the setup WITHOUT the wiper arms as forstg suggested.!
