OK doctors - anyone have experience on a 78-79 replacing a non-pulse with a pulse wiper switch? Why do you ask? My non pulse switch is kaput!!

Looking at the pulse switches, the top connection looks the same - I know its a shot in the dark, but thought I'd ask.

On the other hand, anyone have a used but operating 78-79 non pulse switch they'd be willing to sell? Fleabay is selling NOS switches to $250 and up!! Confused

Thanks

It's not just the switch that is specific/different...you'll also need the delay module that plugs into, or more or less hangs from the fuse box. Not sure if, or how much other wiring differences there are.
I used to have some good pics of that stuff somewhere, but I've had a hard time finding it lately...I think most of the pics like that I had got wiped on one of my old 'puters.
