Okay, Dan, sorry about the delay in responding.
I'm not an expert in windshield wipers, nor in '67s, but I will give this a try.
The first thing I will say is that I think you are saying that you are trying to replace a "round" motor withe a "square" motor.
You can't do that.
The "round" motor is for depressed-park wipers, which lower themselves below the level of the edge if the hood when they turn off.
The "square" motor is for non-depressed-park wipers, which stop at the bottom of their normal range when they are switched off.
If this is, in fact, the correct motor for your car, then following the diagram below should allow you to connect it properly:
The Yellow wire is the "Hot" through the fuse, to the ignition switch (Terminal 2),
The Light Blue wire is the "High" speed wire to the switch (Terminal 1),
The Black wire is the "Low" speed wire to the switch (Terminal 3), and
The Dark Blue wire is the washer pump control wire.
If it is not the correct motor, then you need to get the right one, which will bolt in and connect easily. These motors were used in a wide variety of GM cars over a broad range of years, and should not be very hard to find.
The windshield wiper motors for these cars, especially the "round" depressed-park motors, are surprisingly complex, but a careful review of the chapter in the Chassis Service Manual that deals with them should hep to clarify their function.
I am afraid that I have never personally worked with one of these "square" motors, and have no experience in switching from one type of motor to the other.
