You didn't mention if you had a 1977 T&T or a standard (non-adjustable) column.
I hope that it was a T&T because that switch is the only one that I found.
I found the following switches (they both should be the same):
Corvette Central #593037 1977 Wiper Switch w/T&T in Steering Column $139.95 1-800-635-4108 (in the Switches Section)
Ecklers 1977 Switch, Windshield Wiper w/Tilt-Tele A8215 $79.99 1-800-327-4868 (in the Wiper Section)
I couldn't find the switch at the Zip Store.
As far as instructions go to:
www.corvettefaq.com
Click on: Jim Shea's Steering Papers
Click on: Corvette Steering Papers
Scroll down to the Tilt & Telescoping Section
Down load the following:
Tilt & Telescoping Column 69-82 Disassembly & Repair Paper #1, 2 & 3

After a little investigating..I see that the stub of the shifter is still in the colum (TT) so I will try the suggestion in Sheas steering papers about drilling and removing....hopefully the job will go as planned.

If You Study How The Turn Signal Lever Engages The Electrical Switch Assembly.......a Pair Of Small Needle Nosed Plyers Can Be Used To Grasp The Broken Shaft End. And Press Forward " In " And Twist To " Unlock " The Shaft. And Pull The Stub Out. I Was Able To Put The " Now Shortened " Lever Back In And Control The Turn...and Headlight Switch But Lost The Washer Mode....until A New Lever Was Installed. The Hardest Part Is Getting In A Comfortable Position To See And Work...
