Default seriously..?

this is a serious question and possible problem that i have just encountered...
did '79 come with jets that spray windshield washer fluid/ the entire windshield resevoir system???
i began looking.... and there are no jets, no apparent hoses to spray from/too, and no apparent resevoir for the fluid..
am i crazy?
is this correct?
did "bubba" clean out the entire system???

Yep he did.

You should have a resivor and hoses that go to nozals that are attached to the wiper arms/blades. The resivor should be in the left side of the engine bay under the surround. Hope that helps.

Maybe someone will post a photo.

Bubba really never needed a clean windshield and besides, washers were never great at removing tobacco juice.

It's supposed to be under your fender left from the brake booster. There should be a hose from the resevoir to a T-piece and the into the wiperbay. Each wiper should have a hose connected to it.
