Title: Correct Washer Pump and Location for 2-speed Wipers
Post by: drummingrocks on March 15, 2013, 09:17:14 AM

I'm working on a few engine bay details on my '66 fastback, built December 8th, 1965, in Dearborn.  The car came with 2-speed wipers.  At some time in the past, a previous owner removed the windshield washer pump and mounted an electric fuel pump in its place.  I now have four holes in the fender apron, but I think the washer pump originally only used two.  I'm trying to figure out which two holes are original holes and which two have been added by the previous owner.

Could someone post pictures of the correct original location of the two-speed washer pump?  Thanks for the help!

Hi there,

I've attached a photo of my left fender apron as I was getting ready to start the reassembly of my July 65 Metuchen built Coupe.  There were no miscellaneous holes driled in the sheetmetal and my car is equipped with 2 Speed Wipers as well.  I hope this helps.

Regards,

Ron

Hi Guys - I'm glad the picture helped.  I also found a pre-restoration picture of the same area today.  It should have identify the exact location of the screw for the washer pump.  There is a plug and a wire loom holder in the other holes.

When I pulled up the picture I noticed what seemed to be resisdue of a decal or sticker right next to the washer fluid bag.  I don't ever recall seeing a factory decal or sticker in this location.  Has anyone seen a sticker there before?  I had the same kind of residue near the starter seloid for the battery sticker.

Regards,

Ron

Another great picture!   Not just the content but the quality too. That camera takes good pictures.  8)

Thanks again for sharing the details.

Regarding the decal....yes I have seen a decal in that spot and it just happened to be an original owner NJ car.  I remember it because I thought it was an odd place to put the decal.  I think I even have a picture of it somewhere.  ;)  I'll post it as soon as I find it.

Getting off thread - but yes.  Might be related to the AC and the  compressor location. OF course plant and time period also can play into this ;)

Apoligies for going off thread somewhat.   Rodster if you just want to PM me that picture if you find it that would be great so we don't drag this thread off topic. My car is a late July 1965 Metuchen built car. So the sticker you saw matches the plant.

Wouldn't be the first thread to get off topic.  ;D   That's why I find the 'search' function so useful! 

I started a new topic with pictures attached.  ;)
