Headlight washers
Does anyone know how to wire a headlight washer pump to the windshield washer pump on a 1969 vette.I have the hoses hooked up but these wires are not on my wiring diagram.Thanks Crisko

There is no separate headlight washer pump, there is one pump to serve windshield and headlights and a "valve" (on driver's side of the wiper motor) to distribute water between windshield and headlights.
So do you mean the main pump?
Somewhere on the forum is a post with some pictures explaining the 69 washer pump principles - but can't find it right now.

Gunpowder, thanks! I have everything all set up except for the yellow plastic piece on the right that goes through the anti-drip solenoid. Any idea where I could get it? Did all '69s have headlight washers?

AFAIK all 69 did have the headlight washers - disappeared 70 or 71.

Okay, so '69 is the one with the 4-port washer/anti-drip solenoid. Some '70s and '71s had the rare 5-port washer pump. I had to buy the whole solenoid from Melrose T-Tops for $150 - that was the best price I could find. They are sending me a diagram too, because it looks to be a messy setup.
