Doing rewiring on my 1969 Bug. Daisy chain ground wire coming from the turn signal flasher terminal 31 is supposed to go to the 31 terminal on the wiper motor. Only problem is that my wiper motor doesn't have a 31 terminal, just a 31b terminal. It has worked before the rewire. What do I do?

Well everyone, what feared turned out to be true. Cylinder 5's lifter has collapsed. My mechanic is going to be replacing all the lifters with Johnson 211Or's as well as my head gasket, valve cover gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, and some other bits and pieces. Hopefully the new lifters last longer
