I would have my guitar connect to my wah pedal, my wah pedal connected to the head, the head connected to delay, and the delay connect to the cabinet. Does that work?

No. Usually an external speaker output is designed only for that purpose (voltage, amperage, resistance): to run the signal to a speaker.

The best option is to use an FX loop if you don't want to run an FX unit in front of the amp. In this case, I don't think that amp has a rear FX loop option. So, I'd just plug it in at the end of your signal chain right before it hits the front end of the amp.

Guitar > Wah > Delay > Amp
