Ok thanks…I have figured out the issue…the guy who converted it to 12 still had some connections secure but were cut off down the line …yes the wiper motor grounds out near starter to dash metal…and getting power from the ignition switch…done for day!! Tough under that dash..thanks for all the help!!! Back at it tomorrow

And where is the wiper motor picking up power..they really butchered these wires but the rest I’ve got correct..

Ok I think I understand all of that …I’m done with a majority of the wiring ..Another part of the diagram that I’m confused by is at the wiper motor all the diagrams indicate a wire on the circuit breaker part of the motor states grounded at ignition switch but does not show where it goes?

Another question I have is what to use for battery cables now that it’s back to six volt…I see they used a braided strap to ground..is that certain gauge…and it appears to be mounted on the frame not the engine block…and what gauge should I use for the positive ground to the starter..I’m guessing 00 but maybe that’s too big…? And is there another ground besides the strap? Thanks again

Doing well so far on the re-wire…I’m stuck on one picture in the diagrams…the older Packard diagram shows a wire from the voltage regulator battery terminal running to the headlight junction block where it mixes with what appears to be a ground from the generator…the new diagram shows that same wire running into the side of the voltage regulator NOT to battery terminal of voltage regulator. I believe that the wire in question gets grounded to the voltage regulator somehow? Maybe one of the mounting screws? Or does it really connect to the batt terminal of regulator…I can’t see that being correct but that’s what I am seeing..I attached photos of the two diagrams…thanks!!
