Windshield Washer Questions
 

1. I am going to order the thin wall tubing for my windshield washer. How long is the supply line from the reservoir and how long are the two lines from the pump to the squirters?
2. Which way does the part of the pump where the lines attach face?
3. How do the lines route from the pump to the reservoir and squirters? I know how they go under the small clamps on the cowl vent. I don't know how they route from the pump to the cowl vent and the pump to the reservoir. My reservoir is on the driver's side fender well at the battery.
Thanks, in advance for any and all help.

8' of each will be plenty.
The draw line has to run around to the PS and runs behind/up over the inner the DS fender.
The discharge lines combined are about 7.5' on my '66.
The pump head faces the DS.

If you look at the hood cowl/vent and feel the raised gutter on the DS you will note a slight dip.
The hoses should run over/within this drop.
I never liked this location and choose to run them to the outer edge.
IMO it's cleaner and less likely to ever get pinched.

Thank You.

Order it? I always just pick mine up at my local Carquest parts store.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry! Don't you know there is a difference in the parts store hose and the "correct" thin wall that our host sells? And since I have become so anal about this car I just can't go to O'Reilly's and get what I need (with an employee discount) when I can pay $1.00 a foot for a hose that will never be used? :poke: :D

I used to be able to pick up the thin wall stuff up at my local Carquest store, but it has been a few years. They've been in business over 50 years.

I find there's a lot of difference between O'Reillys and Carquest.

:poke: :D

And some of the other namebrand parts stores too. ;)

You do know that Advance Auto bought Carquest?

Thanks Jerry. I will check the local Carquest and NAPA stores before ordering it.
