After issue after issue with the original style NOS Delco pumps, I went with this on demand type pump on my 1970 Blazer. I completely removed the original pump from the wiper motor. I mounted the new NAPA pump on the steel accelerator pedal bracket after drilling a couple of holes. My Blazer has the 1971-72 style cable throttle control. Older trucks will need to have a different mounting location. I added blade style connectors to the new NAPA pumps wire leads, and plugged them into the original plug, so no mods to the original wiring harness. This new pump shoots a large amount of fluid, and everything appears stock.

IÂ’ve had my 72 C10 for 7 years. The same universal pump you bought wasnÂ’t working, so I bought the same one (after 7 yrs of procrastinating). I was actually just going to cut the current wires and butt joint them together, but I actually yanked them out and did not know where they originated from.

Thanks to your post, after searching for about 15 minutes, I put 2+2 together when you were talking about the blades and saw that underneath. I just connected these wires to the blade with connectors and boom, I could wash my windshield (not that I take it out enough and bad weather to use them).

Sad part is, the driver side nozzle is not squirting as powerfully as the passenger side, even after reaming it with a paper clip and blowing out the line with an air compressor. But, it does the job. Great post!

After my washer pump failed, I moved it to the engine bay. Here's a pic of my '89 S10 window washer tank on the left fender well. IMO, it doesn't make any sense to route the fluid into the cab and back out to the windshield.

Agreed. That’s what the previous owner did the same and mounted it on the firewall. I replaced the same unit at the same place.
