Well, No. 1 you ain't stupid.

It may be a later style heater control valve. Just heat or AC?

Any chance of a photo? Instructions on how to attach are on the reply page.
 
Looking at owners manual there was an option that wipers would go on when you depressed the washer pedal that was by the dimmer switch. I am thinking that this is it .
 
Cool option to have. Most wiper controls on Fords only had two speeds, on and off.
Before electric wipers, they were vacuum operated and so they had a built in sort of interval. They could run slower or faster depending on how much you turned the knob. Engine vacuum demands were the only glitch in the system.
