The stalk does seem likely, I'm sure we have some topics on reassembling it. It's a bit counterintuitive. As I recall the stalk disconnects the park circuit as it connects to the 1st speed motor windings because the park switch connects it to earth when it cuts off that supply you just fixed.
Tend to agree with Cal, BL wouldn't have splashed out on fitting wiper stalks in '76 without good reason - the tight wads didn't even throw in a 2nd door mirror!

And ive decided to stick with the stalks. I'm moving the ignition switch across to the middle. But thats also come to think of it a mod because there wont be a steering lock.
I agree BUT declaring these silly little changes to our cars means that the insurance don't have wiggle room on a payout

I have specialist insurance but its important all our members are aware of thisbissue.
Even then I'd still call if you change anything from standard

The power comes in on that lead you've already found. Then it goes via the park switch's contacts and the stalk to the motor. When the park switch opens it disconnects that supply and connects the whole lot from the motor back to the park switch to earth so there's no voltage across the motor (both sides are earthed) so it stops dead.
If you really have fettled the supply, then it's likely to be the park switch or the stalk. Try unplugging the stalk and joining brown/light green to the red/light green terminals in the plug to see if that makes 'em park - ignition on of course.
