Did you buy the ones with bigger female end from mac's? If so and return them for the correct arms listed on the same page (and spend $100)

There are TWO lengths because all sedan, wagon and Victoria 2-dr hardtop models had the same tall windshield. The convertible and Crown Vic had a lower top so the length of WW arms is shorter for them. But there were also different lengths of wiper blades available. That's why there are so many lengths.
ALSO, there are different style arms to fit mating blades. You can get them in either bayonet style or wrist-type arms.

When the wiper system was converted to electric, did they supply the actuator arms (under the dash)? If so, those may have had smaller pivot male ends and you will have to match that size.
