Yeah I went there, they didn't have anything that would have fit.

well you can check your local phone book for a electronics supply, or even better a electronics salvage shop. We've got a couple shops around town that sell salvage parts and have bins full of various *****.
What size is the shaft on that switch? I may have a few in my parts bin of electronic parts.

Default Pulse Wiper Conversion

I am wanting to convert my '74 2 speed w/ depressed park to an intermittent or pulse system found on the '77. I know the wiper motors can be had for < $100, but what about the wiring harness and the trouble locating the proper dash switch?

I'm not sure you have to change the harness or the motor? I think it may be as simple as just a switch change.

I wished it was as simple as a switch, but the fact that they sell a '77 intermittent W/S wiper motor, leads me to believe that it is a more involved process.

You may want to go aftermarket on the intermittent wipers. They sell kits to convert to intermittent that use the factory switch and motor, but add a intermittent switch to it to set.
