Brant, Thanks for the info as always!
Do we know when the change (in '65) was made from the smooth ends to the hooded ones? may be my car doesn't require the hooded...mine is Dearborn July 27th 1965 scheduled build date....

I replied in the other thread too. Not sure when the change was made in the various plants, but a late car like your July '65 would definitely have the "hooded/flanged" style with no threaded shafts (i.e. no chrome bezels and nuts) for the wiper posts.
There may be a possibility (probably was) that some cars that did not have the threaded shafts for the bezels and nuts could have used the earlier arms though...never say never. I would say by July '65 though, your car would have the hooded/flanged arms.
I know that my late March '65 San Jose car has the bezels and nuts (use the "straight" ended arms.)
Here is a picture of the earlier style:
