Nice upgrade

Something that I did to make it a little better. I bought a reservor and pump for a 87 chevy truck. The plastic reservor has a molded place in the back of it for the pump to snap into, the suction of the pump is mounted inside the reservor at the bottom. the pump has two wire just like our orangal pump under the dash, I ran two new wires out to the pump from the plug in connector that runs the original pump, and it all works. I did this so I don't have to pull the dash out every time the pump decided to quit. Also the new reservor hold more fluid. I just did this last week, up graded every thing for the windshield wipers. New motor, delay wiper switch, and new reservor with new pump. Works great. By the way, I had my cowling off in the process of doing this, cause I put in new squirters, the kind that sprays out two streams of water on each side. While I had the cowling off, I put a screen across the inside of the cowling to keep leaves and debrie from getting into my side vents

Where did you get the new squirters and how do they work for you?

I bought them from JC whitney. They are the type that light up. But I just cut the wires off, I didn't want the light to come on. Then I just made two little brackets for them to bolt on to, mounted them where the factory squirters were at, had to make a little bit of adjustments so they would spray through the slot in cowling. They work good! it was really easy to do.
