Hey Guys,
Does a WWF tank and neck from a 1971 work as a direct replacement for a 1980?
Thanks.

"Direct replacement", no.
To start with, the 71 Corvette has it's washer pump mounted on the wiper motor, while the 80's pump is in the bottom of the washer tank.
You may be able to mount the bottle, but that would be the simple part. You'd have to replace your wiper motor with a 68-74 type motor and washer pump, or figure out how to install a 75-82 pump in the 71 tank, and come up with a way to trigger it.
Hardly worth the trouble, or expense, in either case.
