Default windshield wiper spray hose?

Where does the hose go from the windshield wiper pump? Mine has never worked and time to make it work. I am replacing the pump but there is no hose connected and I can't find where it would spray on the windshield.

What year do you have?

68's spray from 2 nozzles installed in the wiper grills. Later years had "wet arm" set ups with either rubber hoses going to brass tubes attached to the wiper arms, or hoses that ran up the arms, to plastic nozzles at the end of the arms, depending on the year.

Your 80 will (or should) have the wiper arms that the rubber hose runs up. Each arm will have a small black plastic nozzle, at the end of the arm, where the blade assembly attaches.

The hose routing is pretty simple on the 80. Both hoses go through the firewall, into the cavity where the wiper transmissions are, and run up to the arms.
