Washer bottle and pump questions, 69 Polara

[polarnj]

Are either reproduced? Mine is an obviously incorrect one that the PO wire-tied to the fender brace

Is the pump supposed to be attached to the bottom like that, otherwise where does it go?

This is what a 69 bottle should look like. It goes behind the battery in the fender. It is not reproduced and is 1969 only.

What about '70-'7e Fuselage cars' reservoirs? Will they fit the '69s, too?

Just curious,

I don't see why not, there were some changes in the battery mounting/placement that may have an impact.

1970 - 1973 Washer bottles are reproduced yet and they are just as hard to find. The 1967 - 1968 C Body washer reservoirs are reproduced and are relatively inexpensive and should attach using the same screws on the inside edge of the fender. Your current pump should interchange with a 1967 - 1968 washer bottle. I am pretty sure that I have a spare 1967 - 1968 reproduction washer reservoir.

So it is correct the way the pump is attached to the bottom of the tank? At first I thought mine was Jerry rigged and it was supposed to be on the firewall next to the wiper motor

I can take my existing pump and attach it to the repro 67-68 bottle?

No, the pump is attached underneath the reservoir. That is the starter relay next to the reservoir.

Cool thx

I wonder if the pump I have would work on that bottle, I'm not sure what my car has in it now. Anyone know, judging by the pic?

The way that batt cable is reflecting the light almost looks like the washer bottle is putting its arm and hand on the battery
