Solution for 1 speed wiper switch
Since it seems that I was unable to find anyone making a 1 speed wiper switch (2 speeds ones are available) I was able to "make" one that works just like the original.
Buy a 1 speed wiper switch for a '65 Chevy Chevelle. When you compare it to an original one, they are identical other than for the longer shaft. I took measurements from my original switch and used a Dremel cutoff wheel to trim it down. Then I took the wheel and after marking, I cut a groove to replicate the original one, to hold the knob. It mounts just like the stock one and has the same wire connection. Works great! Hope this helps someone.

Good to see this type of info. You never know when someone will be alongside the rd with no lights and need this tip.

Re: Solution for 1 speed wiper switch
What set screw? My factory wiper knob had little spring clips inside that grab the groove.

Re: Solution for 1 speed wiper switch
My 61 has a set screw on the knob. Maybe changed when they changed the knob style?
