Tell me or better yet SHOW ME A PIC of how the windshield washer system hoses hook up on a '79 RBB. I can't find anything under the hood that hooks up between the pump and the nozzles!

Do you mean where the hose attaches to the nozzles? Not sure - but I think it might be on the inside behind the dash (sorry). That's where it is on my '71.
Does a '79 have one nozzle in the center or 2 separate ones?

Its behind the dash. Just changed mine 2 weeks ago. The driver side one is quite hard to get to. Its just above the steering. SO you got everything in the way..... Cables, dials and the steering... The other one is behind the glove department.

An advice, try to push them out from underneath. This way you got the little hose still on the nuzzle. And can get the new one on, and just push back in.

Pushing the new nuzzle in and then trying to get the hose on is near impossible...

2 on a '79... you would think there should be 3...

I was hoping that they would be teed somewhere and maybe the dpo tucked a hose somewhere.
Which hold does it snake through?

Yeah i never understood that there is only 2. I am not 100% sure where it snakes thought. But i remember it having a "T" Piece behind the dash. and going out from there. it was more leftish in the center. I will have a look tomorrow morning.

In mine it wasn't taped up to anything.

I did mine on my 77 not to long ago was really easy with the dash off, it goes through the hole in the picture (by the throttle cable) and t's under the dash to the 2 nozzle one by the steering column and the other by the glove box.

I would post pics of the under dash but it has since been all put together.

Seeing the picture i remember now. Mien goes through the same place.

But like i said i did it with the dash on. Its a little fiddling but works. Took me maybe 10 minutes max.

thanks guys...
project for Monday I do believe.

Should take a little longer than 10 minutes because the jets were painted... I gotta fix that.
