Howdy-
Back in the fold w a '76 Stepside, purchased this summer.( Had to sell my '67 Stepside when we moved from FL to AZ ) Amazingly , not beaten up. Was missing a couple of small items- windshield washer nozzles for instance. Made my order through LMC ( did a big cooling system rehab this week) but can't see any screw holes for mounting the new nozzles. Pics would be greatly appreciated if anyone could post up. Thanks!

I'll see if I can get some of my 79 tomorrow.

Thanks, 79. Really need the help- amazingly, there is no detail on this in the factory manual reprints I have

Are you referring to the "PAD" sheets (the assembly documents, sometimes now called the PDMs)?

That would be a surprise, because they should highlight not only the installation but the adjustment procedure, too (ie, where they should hit on the windshield and stuff).

At any rate, they should attach in the area of the cowl openings, at the rear of the hood, sticking through one of the openings (one toward the driver's side, one toward the passenger side).

Howdy- No don't have PAD sheets. Hood may be a replacement. No holes anywhere that would be obvious as mounting points,either on hood or cowl area, which is why I requested pics, if possible.

hey, sorry I almost forgot. and daylight sucked. sorry for the quality of the pics.
Driver Side: which is 19 vents from the right to left

Passenger Side:which is 20 Left to right.

Let me know if you need a better pic of something or whatever.

Those pics above are where they are on my 76 hood.

I was having conversation on a Pontiac board about the PAD sheets and here's the one they showed as an example:

( the one on the windshield washer installation and adjustment - LOL).

Incidently, when I worked in the plant they would sometimes "accidently" get mis adjusted so that they would spray the workers and vehicle behind it....
