Thanks everybody,I do have new cables but the ground cable is to small for the positive battery post. Also I usually use the green knob cutoff but have had issues with those too

As per wife's instructions I'm takin a break.The two biggest things I can't seem to figure out is how to keep the cable ends attached at the motor while dealing with the pulley system.Second is once everything is hooked up,the cables are way too loose.Im wondering if I have the cable routing correct.I am usually good at documenting disassebly with pics but now wish I had pics and maybe hand drawn diagram.I also wished I would have color coded some of this.thanks for the help,I'm going to give it another try next weekend

Ok,I have worked on wiper cables for two weekends and have come to the conclusion to either build the car without wipers or torch the car and find something else to work on.All of this just to remove windshield trim to paint the body.Ver frustrated

That helps ,thanks.My 54 has 4 different pulleys on each side.The tensioner looks simple but,I think I need to pull it back off the car to see how it works.It appears they are maxed out on tension but cables are still loose.Im thinking the cables are routed incorrect or the pulleys on the pivot are backwards.
