1979 GM wiper motor into 1971 delta 88

Hi folks, I have a 1979 Caprice Classic intermittent wash wipe wiper motor and switch to install into a friends 1971 Delta 88.
There are 7 wires from the switch;
White
Orange
Dark Green
Light Blue
Dark Blue
Black
Black/White

I was under the impression that the +ve was fed directly to the motor and the switch just connected the -ve as required but the motor has 7 terminals.
Can anybody tell me which of the 7 terminals on the wiper motor they attach to, or which colour wire is in each position if there is a change in the loom.

Thanks in advance

Brent

Sorted

I found most of the info in the 1976 Fisher Body Service Manual so was able to draw this diagram after a bit of trial and error.

cheers

Update - corrected diagram!

That's what I get for testing out of the car. DOH!
If the local +ve feed to the switch stays live after the main Wiper circuit is disconnected the previous diagram allowed the wiper motor to operate even if the switch was off.
