    I think this was covered recently, but I can't find it. Replaced the washer tank/pump and rubber lines today on my day off. Everything works but the squirter metal unit onto the windshield. I've blown them out, tried a pin into the opening, still no air or water flow. Do the 70-73 Mustang ones work for our cars? Any suggestions? I'm sure these have not worked in years, I had to get a tank from Craig last year, just getting to it.

    Take a rubber tip blow gun off your air compressuer an blow air at 125 psi or more the wrong way ( from the wind shield side ) . If you can get the rubber tip to seal around the squitter an blow air through it an should clear out . If this will not work take squitters off car an sook than in CLR over night an try to blow them out again .

    good luck jay
