Retrofit factory intermittent wiper control?
My '84 Firebird came with a lot of options but not intermittent wipers. What all is needed and how hard is it to retrofit intermittent wipers?
(I have tools for GM tilt steering column)
Any recommendations on online sources for used parts like this? Maybe a yard that specializes in parting out FBodies?

lets see.... you'll need the proper wiper switch/turn sig. switch, wiper module, and I think maybe there is a different motor assembly, can't remember and I'm on vac. so I can't check it on my car. I'm also certain the wiring is different to some degree

IIRC the motor is the same but the electronics in the motor cover are different.
Edit- Just checked, the part numbers for the motors are the same.

Thanks!
I was figuring the wiper motor was the same but the steering column switch would obviously be different.
What I'm curious about is the wiring 'harness' if they would have typically installed a full harness regardless of option and thus the stalk switch would have simply been swapped...?
Not sure what to look for w/ respect to a 'module' ? - don't have a wiring diag handy at the moment either.
