Should the windshield wipers park on a 1974?

I finally got around to adding wiper blades so I could try out the wipers. They seem to work but the speed didn't really change much from slow to fast. Also when I turn them off they just stop wherever I turned them off.

Are they supposed to park? Is there an intermittent?

I'm afraid to even test the fluid squirter

experiencing a similar problem in my 81 k10. replaced the motor/washer assembly because the original would not "park" the wipers but rather stop them wherever they are when the wipers are switched off. Same problem with the new motor assembly. Is there an external module or contact switch?
