My parts books cut off at 1976 so I hesitate to give you a part number to search the web for. @joe_padavano , @Oldsfan or others should have parts books that cover 1977.
Armed with a part number @deaddds may have a NOS switch in stock. Any 50 year old junkyard switch may or may not be good.
Are you sure it's the switch? The pulse/delay wiper system has its own idiosyncrasies. Do you have a copy of the 1977 Fisher Body Manual? Wiper troubleshooting procedures are in it. Also, if you can remove the LH dash pod and get at the switch, spraying some electrical contact cleaner in the switch body and working the switch will sometimes clean it internally and get it functioning again.
