I have read the topic answers to repairing a vibrtor using 120V and a 40-60W lamp in series. Which pins do the leads connect to on the vibrator. Thanks.

WHUT ???....no takers, well then, guess I'll have to step up to the plate, even though I haven't had to "reform" a mechanical vibrator within the last 78 years.
I placed a thumbmnail of a conventional circuit to acompany it, and hopefully you are referring to the most common , four prong unit.
Now looking at my marked up schema at the bottom, you will see that the hookup is correct when the magnetic driver coil of the vibrator gets connected to the proper LARGE terminal such that there can be an initial circuuit completion in thru the driver coil and over thru the contacts. Some vibrators or ones in different degrees of digression of its contact health integrity may tend to stick and the vibrations may cease. This may be averted by working with only one of the vibrators smaller contact diameter pins at a time. (Easiest done by making contacts to those pins via two test lead connectors) Then you use the one connection that produces vibration and the other lead can be intermittently connected to get in a few vibes of cleaning action on its contacts until it freezes the movement again.
Just repeat the procedure for some minutes until an AC arcing / cleaning action can be accomplished.
In some instances it us even required to initially...or repeatedly...whack the side of the vibrator housing against your leg to initially establish an vibrator start up action.

Possibly your last post was a blank ?...but I thought that the provided schema was clear enough.

To evaluate with the use of an ohmmeter.... measure between the two large pins to see what the norm
for driver coil resistance is. Then make a check between one large pin and each small pin checking
for continuity. On the connection that is making continuity, confirm if it is almost a dead short
or if its value includes the coil resistance. If the later is the case then that would provide
the proper intwerconnect and series contact action to engage the vibrator when connected up.
Otherwise the other large pin to a small pin connection would present a dead short by merely passing
through the swinging contact and the fixed contact that it would be to touching, with no series
connected coil in the circuit to provide the required magnetic swinging /vibrating action.

Thanks. I have read your help and will try when I am able. Best wishes. :Possibly your last post was a blank ?...but I thought that the provided schema was clear enough.

6/14/07 It worked! Got the vibrator humming on my Mopar 602. Now to order capacitors and wade in. Thanks.
