Default 70 headlight washer nozzels

I’m in the process of replacing the headlight washer nozzles on my 1970. Would anybody have pictures or a diagram?
Thanks

Not sure what you need to see in a diagram. The white pic has the hole on the lower edge.(early version) The black has both holes on the verticle (later version)

The nozzles are simple to remove from the bezel. the hole they go into are"D" shaped so they will locate themselves. The bezel can be tricky to remove depending on which one you have.

The early bezel has the lower washer mounted on the flat horizontal bottom edge. This one is more difficult to remove.
From the rear of the bezel ;
First remove the 2 hoses fron the washer nozzle end .
You will then have to remove the nut from the lower washer nozzle and remove the washer. If you don't remove the lower nozzle, there won't be enough clearence for the nozzle nipple to claer the front of the headlight opening.
From the front of the bezel
remove the 2 side screws and the 2 upper screws. Then the bezel will come off.

If you have the later design bezel You will notice that both nozzles are on the vertical between the light openings. Eliminating the interference of the poor first designs lower location.This later design made it much easier to remove the bezel.

From the rear of the bezel:
Remove the 2 hoses.
From the front of the bezel
Remove the 2 side mounting screws and the 2 top mount screws.
Bezel is free.

Thanks for the info. It appears I have the early version. I guess I wasn’t clear in my request. I have new nozzles and wonder where the washers go above or under the housing. I believe on top is this correct?

When I replaced the vacuum lines and hoses from my '70, I found that the windshield washer hoses were firmly embedded in a bonding material (like a tar), so did not install them. If you are intending to replace these (and don't have that problem), I can try to dig them up and give you a real deal.

Thank you all very much. My question was answered. I have all of the parts necessary for this repair. The nozzles were removed when the car was repainted. One more project done.
Thanks again.

Not to highjack this thread, but... my 1971 coupe (built in Dec. 1970)has the 5-port washer pump and most of the hoses for the headlight washers. But there are no washers and the lines are terminated early (but don't look like they have been cut). Did the early '71s have headlight washers as standard equipment? Or did they just leave some of the stuff in when they dropped this feature?

71 as well as some late 70 had the hoses running from the pump and tied off up front. There were cars with bezels with either hole location. Cars with one of each, cars with holes in one bezel and none in the other. Bezels with holes no nozzles. Sure GM couldn't wait to be done with the inventory on that wonderful system!!
