Need some wiring help with a wiper motor!

[phlicker13]

So I'm hoping one of you brilliant people has the answers I need!!

 

My wiper motor went out in my 77 280z, and I'm switching in the motor/transmission from my parts car - a 74 260z. The problem is the plugs aren't compatible, although they have the same number of wires - 6, with two separated out - on both plugs. Can I just wire up the new plug with the wires in the same positions?

 

The wires are different colors, and the wiring diagram I have for the 260 doesn't specify any codes for the wires going to the plug or the motor, unlike the one I have for my 280... Any ideas before I go testing all 36 combinations?

 

Thanks in advance~

I am 3/4 of the way re-wiring my car, What I can tell you is my 77 wiper is ground controlled, I found this out by connecting the wiper ground wire to the "on" position on my toggle switch, and then connected a wire from the "off" position on the toggle switch to ground. Then I connected a wire to the wiper 18 ga black or dk blue wire to the battery positive. In the picture below, the big white tag on your right is the ground wire in the photo, and the dk.-blue or 18ga black wire with the white tag on your left is the 12v power wire.

 

There is a Yellow, Blue/yellow stripe and Blue/red stripe wire and yellow/green wire these wires from what I have put together control the wiper speed, intermittent and the wiper washer.
