The motor pigtail came with the motor when I bought it, but they are pretty easy to find in the junkyard. I bought mine off of ebay due to the COVID lockdown crap that was going on, but they are pretty easy to find.

Those motors actually wire perfectly to the 2 speed switch in 84-87 positive ground systems. I don't have a negative ground switch to check against.

The wiring isn't terrible on the motor.

Yellow - +12v, goes to acc tap in the fuse panel
Purple - High Speed
Brown - Low/Delay, +12v for low speed, 0-680k variable resistor inline for delay
Red - Wash cycle, +12v while switch is in wash position.
Dk Green - Unsure on that one, may not be connected on mine, but I will have to look.
I want to just hook the wiper motor to a toggle switch to run the wipers at low speed. I have an 86 monte SS. What wires need to go to positive an what wires need to go to negative? I have a red wire, a grey wire, a green wire, a yellow wire that goes to another connector, and a purple wire that is also on the same connector as the yellow wire. See pictures below.
