    wiper/washer nozzle

    On a '69, did both windshield wiper arms have washer nozzles or just the driver's side?

    Both wiper arms had washer "nozzles" on 1969 Corvettes (and all 70-82 Corvettes, for that matter, too). However, the original configuration for 1969 was not a "nozzle", per se. It was a brass tube with tiny holes on the end which formed the "nozzle".

      Marc, not many years ago those brass tubes and the plastic clips that hold them to the wiper arms were almost impossible to find. If you were doing a restoration, replacing those tubes or the clips was going to be one of the problems to overcome. You will be pleased to know that the tubes, and I believe the clips, are now available in good reproductions. Try Paragon and/or Dr. Rebuild.

        P.S.

        Paragon once reproduced both nozzle tubes, but you will need to get their hard catalog to see them...I found their web catalog to be less than excellent. Paragon's online site only lists the LH tube with no text description or picture, and there is no mention of the RH tube. Dr. Rebuild doesn't list the nozzle tubes, so I assume these parts are proprietary to Paragon. You can order the catalog by calling them at (800) 882-4688.

          Tube and Clips Cost

          Paragon sells both tubes at $27 each and the clips at $13. each side. Add a little shipping and you have $90. to $100. in parts which is much better than a few years ago when if you parked a 73 which has the wipers in the open at a show your clips would disappear. Lyle
