69 Winshield Washer Pump
The 69 is unique as it is a three port with a splitter valve on the other side. Does anyone have a source for this pump and especially the splitter valve?
Does anyone have a good drawing of the system with the hose positioning on the 3 port and splitter valve? The AIM and Chevrolet manual does not give ir justice.

The pump uses 3 ports, one in and two out. The two out go into a "Y" connector then on to the bottom port of an electro-mechanical diverter valve (That's my name for it) on the driver's side of the washer motor.
The two other ports on the valve connect to the wiper arm washer tubes via a tee and other runs forward to the headlamp washers.
The valve just came available about a year ago. Hold your wallet....

There are good pictures in both the AIM and the Chassis Service Manual. That dingy looking Tee connector is actually a check valve and not yet available for any sources.

You mentioned a check valve. Is this original? Without it will the water just drain off or take the pump awhile to prime?
Your picture and explanation will give me something to work on Sunday afternoon.
Thank you,

Here's a pic.
The little barrel shaped gizmos are "one way valves". You'll also find them on the headlight washing side of the circuit too.
Keeps the water from flowing back.

Got mine complete from Dynamiccorvettes.com for $294.00. I was referred to them by Corvette America. Most of the other pieces, lines etc can be sourced through Paragon and you can see pics in their online catalogue. Both these firms are reasonably priced and fast shipping. Good luck!

Here is a picture of the pump and coil if this helps. It is available new as an assembly only. http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...ducts_id=24473

Didn't know the pump and coil was available in repro form. Thanks for the info.
The one way valves? They're around. When I go to Corvette flea markets, I always scrounge in the boxes of "junk", or the little pigeon hole boxes many vendors have.
You can find them for 25 cents to $1.00 each. Chuck

Yes I would think so. The current is the same as the washer pump, but it's not a looped circuit. The washer pump should still work without the headlamp washer hooked up.
