Which Year Wiper Motor do I need??

Hey guys!
Long story short, I have a 91 car BUT the wiring is presumably from an 82.
Problem is, I have plugs here for the wiper motor and I have a 92 and 85? wiper motor and they don't look like they would work. I think maybe my wiring isn't 82 or the 85 motor isn't 85 but either way I'll post a pic of the plugs. Can any of you guys tell me what wiper motor plugs into these if you can?
Thanks!!
Adam

You need a motor to match the car, and you need wiring to match the motor.

Yeah I pretty much know that. Problem is that since the car is already wired, easiest thing is to match a new motor to the existing plugs. So I don't have to rewire the car for just a motor.

Much easier to change the wiring. There are mechanical differences in the 82 and 92 wiper systems.

Oh man I guess I didn't wanna hear that. The whole column and everything matches the wiring. I know the old style has less speeds. I can't just buy a wiper motor that would work? It's probably really tough to adapt that wiring. I do have a 1991 parts car so all the wiring is there. I just don't know crap about wiring
