Headlight washers were located top and bottom in the center of the headlight bezel (cover in front of the headlamps). There was a "D" shaped hole in the upper and lower portion of that bezel for the nozzels to fit into. It might get expensive to hook those suckers back up. [And if you don't drive in bad weather, I'm not sure when you are supposed to use them....]

Hi Greg,
7T1 is right on.
To add a little to your question about location. I believe 69 had the nozzles in the vertical surface between the lights.
I believe 70 had 1 nozzle on the vertical surface and 1 on the lower horizontal surface.
So why does my 71, #6589 have 2 round holes in the vertical surface between the lights? Did St. Louis have some 69 bezels to use up? My car does have a 5 port pump and the cut off washer hoses.
Regards,
Alan
