Intrigued by the E-mails back and forth, I visited the Revolution Electronics web site. They describe the kit and have a set of installation instructions. Like Daniel, I have seen similar "types" of intermittent wiper controls on the market for many years. They usually involved hanging a small rotary control under the edge of the dash and turning on the wipers via the original switch, then adjusting the time between wipes with the supplemental control. The Revolution device doesn't work that way. It connects to  the original switch and another power feed and ground. The original switch  will work the way God and GM intended. Installing the kit presents you with a  few alternatives for wiping intervals. Rather than trying to describe that,  I am including part of their operating instructions. The unit is made to  work with any GM 2-speed system, except for the ones with the hide-away wipers, like some Corvettes. I am just lame enough in wiring (except, ahem, Ignition
 Wiring?) that I would prefer a plug-in solution. Something in the style of  the 4-way flasher kit that the dealer happily installed in the mid-1960s. 
The  Revolution kit is universal enough to fit many cars. With a few connectors and a  bit of creativity, I'm sure a plug-in solution could emerge. By the way  Revolution also makes kits to retain interior lighting for a period after door  closing, keeping radio power on when the ignition is turned off, until a door is  opened. All that "Luxury Car stuff" that comes on a Chevy Spark and above  today!! Their in development link describes a few other nice to have items they  are working on.
