Default 54 Wiper Motor/Radio Hook Up

Can someone explain how the cable and vacuum lines are connected? How about the wiper transmissions?

Also I have two yellowish/white cloth insulated wires one upper one lower on my radio. Is one the power for the light and the other power for the radio? Does a ground wire need to be connected from the bracket bolt the the dash?

Thanks Greg

Here you go Greg on the wiper install. This is what I used for my 54 and it worked great.

Default Radio?

Greg have you figured out the answer to your radio question? I don't have any answers for you, but hopefully someone will notice that part of your question while commenting on the wiper motor instructions.

Greg, sorry I didn't notice the second question about the radio. Yes, one is power for the light and then power for the radio is the other, yes it should have a ground to it, I will pull one out and try and take a picture of it for you with labels.

I don't see the pics anymore... any chance of reposting them? I've got a '54 that I'm fighting the wipers on as well...
