Default 1973 Wiper motor electrical connection

I bought a new wiper motor for a "73"when I was at St Charles a year ago...I'm currently just winding up a 5 year restoration...I went to hook up the wiper motor...low and behold the connector on the harness is a three way and the motor is a two way....I think the motor is wrong....painted it to match color scheme silver and black...is this harness correct ? or is the motor correct....

Do a web search on 1973 corvette wiper motor, and you will see wiring diagram links, and videos showing how to test them, and links back to this forum where that question has been answered for sure.

I have a 71, so can't directly answer your question, but found all the answers I needed on the wiper motor this past weekend, and solve my issue.

My '73 has the 3 wire connector for the wiper motor. I think you're
right about the motor being wrong.
