i noticed that my 69 coupe on has a two speed wiper switch, and that the later C3's had a wiper switch that features a switch with an intermittent position. Is there any way to replace the 2-speed stock switch with a new one that has the intermittent positon?
thanks
78 was the first year that intermittent wipers were offered, and they were only available as part of the Convenience Group. They were also optional in 79, and became standard in 1980.
The same wiper motor was used on 78 & 79 Corvettes, with or without intermittent wipers. The intermittent feature was controlled by an electronic module and a unique switch.
The switch used on 68-76 Corvettes is completely different than the 78-82 switch and is installed differently. I would guess that it's possible, to convert a 69 to intermittent wipers, but I don't think the 78-82 switch would work.
