Default Picture needed

I need a picture of a '66 windshield wiper assembly and I'm most interested in the wiring to the motor. Does the motor have plug on it, is it hard wired or does it have a pigtail?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It has a thin flat plug that slides on the bottom toward the engine. The wiring to the plug goes to the firewall connector. The ground comes from the heater fan case ground lug that feeds down to the starter mounting bolt.

There's a 3-wire connector that plugs onto the board at the bottom of the motor, and a 2-wire connector that plugs onto the washer pump; both of those wires come through a hole with a rubber grommet in the firewall from the dash harness inside the car. The color diagram was made by Buns.
