Re: a 1st 4 me
Is that got one of those piston fucked things for a washer pump?
I never could get those things to work

Those old gm were a horribly complicated rube goldberg contraption. I'd just pick it and get one that bolts on the fender, squirts when you push the button like an old Ford.

Re: a 1st 4 me
i am glad for two things--
1--it works
2--i am not the only one that gives it the thumbs down for design
the pump on the tank was good enough for me

Had an '82 Chebby one ton... pump quit, so I went to replace it...over $200 for parts! Napa had a stand alone pump for like $20, so a little plumbing and wiring... it's been working BETTER than original ever since.....

Washer fluid in a spray bottle. Stick arm out window and squeeze bottle as needed. Drove a few clunkers like that.

Allen is for rent if anyone needs a designated person to do this!

Any of you winter guys use that piss yellow washer fluid that melts ice? It's great in the mornings, just give a squirt and no scraping the windshield.

It may be great, but you gotta watch where your doing that, cause it could break a penile code.
