'81 wiper switch

Help! I am looking for a windshield wiper switch for my '81 Vette. I bought one on E-bay, but it was the wrong one. I need one with the delay, not the mister. Any suggestions where to look would be appreciated. ( I just looked on E-bay yesterday)

I vaguely remember that this part had been discontinued. Try the usual suspects (Corvette Central, Ecklers, The Last Detail...) If that doesn't work, I believe that I have a used one from my 81. I was able to get a replacement about 5 years ago and changed it, but the switch turned out not to be the problem.

If I can find it, you are welcome to it. Maybe the first gift for the Christmas thread.

These are relatively easy to fix.
Just bend the tabs back to open the switch.
Make sure you work over a box as the springs and ***** tend to fall out.
