Default '77 Wiper Switch Problem

What is the best way to access the wiper switch on a 1977, front or the back? Also, if I were to have to replace it, what would I look for? I looked in Eckler's and they had switches for every year but 1977.

Thanks,
Nick

The 1977 Corvette is the only C3 with a wiper/washer switch on a stalk. At least it does with the T&T steering column--I don't know about the standard column.

The wiper switch is available at CorvetteCentral.com:

1977 WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH - WITH T & T COLUMN
593037 89.25 EACH


Take the steering wheel off and keep removing stuff till you get to it. Not that hard.

I replaced one of these on my 77 and you have to pull the steering column apart to get at it. Not other way. And the switch is expensive.

Jim Shea has some good documentation at corvettefaq.com on pulling the column apart.
