Can't seem to find anything on this topic.

I'm replacing my windshield wiper motor on my 82' Berlinetta (car has a delay wiper system) and I'm wondering how to properly go about this?

Looks like there are three bolts holding the motor assembly on.

One nut holds the motor shaft to the transmission; 3 bolts hold the wiper motor on; acoupla plugs hook it up.

It'd be a GREAT idea to add a ground wire from the motor case to the firewall. The motor REQUIRES a ground connection to work, and from the factory, that's accomplished with a little brass strip under one of the rubber bushings. Over time it fails, as the rubber compresses and everything corrodes and whatnot. Just put in a short piece of wire with fork or ring terminals from one of the screws on the motor body to a screw on the firewall.

Spliced a hot wire to the purple and wipers work now. So I will be dropping the $80 for a switch. Any heard anything bad about the duralast switch?
