The first pump I got was the square model but
I'm returning that one this week & will hopefully get the correct
one next time!?
The original washer pump I've got is based on a
slightly "pear shaped" base plate with rounded corners.
The pump I'm getting has a black carbon
reinforced plastic pump which is stronger, withstand cold
much better & doesn't get brittle over
time like the original "white" pump. (I'm told)
Best regards

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.

How many different windshield washer pumps are
there to the -71 2-D HT model?
