According to the JG, inserts with no markings is not TFP.

Gary- Yes, I have the 6th edition of the 66 TIMJG. I quickly read the section and decided I should have "Trico" blades and holders, to go with my "Trico" Wiper arms. My Bad! Thank you for the clarification! After your post, I re-read the section and realized my mistake.
Sorry

Re: 66 wiper arms and blades

Pete, I have a '65 so I'm not well versed on the details for a '66 but here is my 2 cents. If you need polished arms, you may also need them to be adjustable. There is a screw on the side of the arm that allows the adjustment. Also, the cover on the underside of the arm is stamped TRICO and has numerous other numbers stamped in. As Leif mentioned, try Sokolowski...he has a lot of stuff. It's pretty easy to restore the stainless portion of the arms. However, the chrome portion (mount) is not. Often they are scratched or gouged. So, try to find a pair that are not! Another option, get a set of repro arms and switch out the bottom covers with real originals (which don't need to be the ones specifically for your car). Originals are plentiful and the covers are easily changed. As for the rubber inserts, you cannot find the ones with raised dots. I was lucky to find a set of NOS and I keep them in a vault. Good luck.
