Jim,  I have a paper manual for '64 Dodges, which _should_ be pretty 
close to '65 Belv.  From your description and the manual I would guess 
it's a variable speed; and I can say that you _are_ doing something 
wrong.  First, I think the wire you are calling orange was probably RED 
and has faded over the years.  The manual refers to RED,Black, _DARK_ 
Blue, and Yellow wires for the variable speed motor.  The test 
procedures are pretty simple, but call for swapping jumper wires to 
check the run and park features.

Ready ???
....................................................
FROM THE '64 Dodge FSM:

"(1) Connect a jumper wire between the wiper motor Yellow wire and the 
wiper motor Ground Strap.  Connect another jumper wire between the 
battery negative terminal and the wiper motor Ground Strap.  Connect 
another jumper wire between the wiper motor Red and Black wires and the 
battery positive terminal.  The motor should run continuously in the 
wipe direction.

(2)  Connect a jumper wire between the wiper motor Blue and Yellow wires 
and the battery positive terminal.  Connect another jumper wire between 
the wiper motor Red wire and the wiper motor Ground Strap.  The wiper 
motor should run in reverse and stop at the park position."

I haven't seen the setup, but it sounds like maybe you left the Ground 
Strap under the dash when you pulled the motor.

Hope that helps.  Let us know!
