RE: [Chevelle-List] Q: Windshield washer pump

IIRC all GM A-body cars had hidden wipers by 1970. I think 1969 was the last year for the 2dr post cars. I could be wrong though. That's just from memory.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Larry Butler Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 11:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Q: Windshield washer pump   Pelle,   I have been looking into replacing my washer pump also. Not sure if I have this all correct. First, there are two types of wiper systems. The hidden type has a motor that has a round "barrel" bottom (angled 45 degrees downward to the right when viewing the firewall from the front of the car). The non-hidden type has a rectangular looking motor. Each motor type has a different washer pump. As far as I can tell, all SS models have the hidden type of windshield wipers. My non-SS 72 Elky has hidden wipers also. I also see mention of "Demand" wiper systems. This system uses the same motor but has an additional relay (i.e. read different wiring harness) and uses a switch on the shifter handle. I am not sure this was an option on Chevelles especially those that have floor shifters.   Larry 72 El Camino
