1957 chevrolet windshield washer help

[Joe Werner]

My 57 has the orginal windshield washer set up on it, its the button on the dash operated one. its been awhile since it worked. i can only find one hose that goes to it im sure there was a couple more. my guess they rotted and fell off at one time. since im working on the car i would like to get it working but i have no idea how the hoses go. I was wondering if anyone would have a diagram of how the hose went or a picture of one any info would help.

thanks Joe

If there are only two nipples for hoses on the washer jar top then

the following should work.

1. There will be a vacuum supply hose from a "T" fitting under the

dash near the wiper motor that goes to the switch button on the dash to operate the washer.

2. There will be a another vacuum hose from the other nipple on the switch to the

vacuum side of the wiper jar top. Be sure this hose goes to nipple marked vacuum on jar.

3. There will be a water or washer fluid hose going from the other nipple on the washer jar to a "T" fitting that has the other two hoses going to the washer nozzles at the base of the wiper arms.

Good luck.
