It depends on the motor. THere are numerous versions of these things. They can have different sweep angles and different connectors to start with. The sweep is controlled by a geared cam. Dodge started with a 100 degree then went to a 110 degree sweep if I am correct. The sweep angle is often stamped in ink on the front cover of the wiper. I have see both single and dual connectors for the power source. One is isulated and connects to the motor. The other is simply screwed to the motor frame and is the ground. I suspect that self grounding did not work as well. I can not remember the numbers on my motors at the moment but there were two different model numbers and 1 had the dual connector and the other a single connector. I saw the same thing in 12V motors also.
Finding acutal motors from a dodge PW can be difficult. They have a angled plate spot welded to the front face and use a Stainless steel adaptor on the out side of the cab along with a nut to attach them. The adaptor and the motor plate have holes for putting a screw in to stop the motor from twisting with the higher torque of the motors.
Each motor has a switch mounted to the wiper cover plate. Wiring is simple, just bring a switched hot wire up through the post alongside the windshield and connect it to one side of the switch. Then connect the other side to the motor. If you have the grounding lug on your motor simply run a short wire from it and put a lug on the end of it and screw it to the sheetmetal someplace. If you do not have the grounding lug I would make a short wire with a small ring lug at each end. Then attach one end to a cover screw on the motor and the other to the sheet metal to make sure you have a good ground.
