I fixed it!  I had the headlight switch vacuum lines switched.  Headlights are back to normal.  Unfortunately, when I tried to remove the headlight switch knob, I pulled it completely off the stem.  I can deal with that.

Wipers.  They work!  In a moment of desperation, I decided to reverse the electrical connection to the wiper switch (i.e. turn it over).  That fixed it.  I hooked it up wrong when I put the dash back together.  I think the original problem with the wipers was the switch solenoid that's mounted on the back of the tach (I replaced that and the relay that's under the console).

I think I qualify for that PHD in taking things apart and a GED in putting them back together.
