Hi,

In my corvette 69, i have a Winter project.... All need to be work for the good day... Last week it's the whisper time, they work now (thanks to Willcox).

Now, i see that my corvette haven't the washer pump, but she have washer tank, and one hose.

But i can't locate nozzle (they need to be on arm, no?)

On ecklers i see this :

I need to take left nozzle, missing hoses and clip.

With them, does i have a washer ready? Anyone have a pictures with the system installed on arm?

My pictures to understand better.

Thanks

The "total view( hose from washer push to the hose that go on a Y, partially blocked



The Y partially blocked go in whiper trap



Here in the wiper trap, i can follow 3 hoses a time



Two of them go on the circle that you can see behind the whiper arm.

Hi rr,
69 cars had the windshield washer nozzles in 2 configurations:
At first the tubes were fixed and mounted below the wiper bay grill.
Later the rubber hoses led to copper tubes that clipped to the wiper arms and moved with the pivot of the arms.

Knowing when your car was assembled will help in determining which type washers it should have.
Both the VIN sequence number and the Trim Tag date will help answer that question.

Alan

This diagram from Paragon shows how the tubes were attached to the arms.

The wiper arms are supposed to have two tubes that run the entire length of the arm as shown below. https://willcoxcorvette.com/catalogs...ar=19&q=nozzle

In the last picture the two that go to the circle are the wiper door vacuum safety switch. It keep the wiper door from closing on the wipers before they are parked.
You washer hoses to the wiper arms should go through the hole that has the grommet that has nothing going through it in your first picture. At least that is the way my '71 is setup.
In your last picture you can see at the wiper arm base, the notch cutout, that is where the copper (Brass maybe???) tube retainer clips connects to. Then there is one plastic clip (can't remember how many) further up towards the wiper blade. After that there is a fixed clip that the end of the copper (brass?) tube is brazed on at the end. It appears you are missing the copper (brass?) tube.

Wiper arm washer tube clips:


Tube there is a right and left tube:


Also 1969 came with headlight washers, not sure if that was an option or not. If it came standard you should have nozzles at the headlight buckets and also a 5 port nozzle on the washer pump itself.

Just be careful rick , the " 2 that go to the circle behind the wiper arm " are vacuum hoses for the control of the wiper arm and door opening sequence . The circle is the plunger face that the wiper arm closes.

I don't think the Y piece should even be plugged into the short hose that is coming through the wall , its a short breather hose for that vacuum switch .

theandies is correct , above the triple hose grommet is where the water line runs through

My VIN and other plate code is :


How i can find how the washer nozzle will be on arm or other?

Hi RR,
The Trim Tag date and the VIN sequence number indicate your car was built at the very end of July 1969.
This means it's a 'relatively late' 69 car and would thus likely have had the copper washer tubes attached to the wiper arms.

Here are the left and right hose connections.
