TheBMan Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I need to replace the washer squirter nozzles on my 72 Monte Carlo Custom. They appear to be readily available in the aftermarket but the parts sold do not match what's on my car, which I assume are original. Attached is a photo of what I'm working with. The aftermarket pieces don't have the locating pin, are a different length, and different shape. I've called a couple of the aftermarket suppliers but finding someone who actually wants to figure out a solution is difficult. Does anyone know of a supplier or does anyone have one or two they would like to sell to me? I really just need one but would love a set. Thanks!

MC1of80 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I just seen an NOS one on eBay. Check under 1971 Monte Carlo nos and 1970 Chevelle nos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have the drivers side one on a 72 hood I acquired, the one on pass side is broke. They are a little different than the ones off my 71 but close. If you get in a jam let me know I won't be using it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it on eBay. Last one. NOS part appears to be correct. Not cheap but whatcha gonna do? Does not list it for a Monte Carlo (was listed under 71-72 Chevelle) and technically they should be different, but whatever, I'll take it! Thank you @MC1of80! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours probably would have been cheaper. LOL I very much appreciate you stepping up. If the eBay item turns out to be wrong, I'll message you for sure. Thanks!

1970mcss Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 The parts catalog doesn't show anything for the MC. That part number fits 71-72 Chevelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangeba Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 What's wrong with them? 70 is different than 71/72. After 49 years, they may not be original. I haven't used my washers in decades. I met a gut with a 71 that had a 70 ft clip on it and he didn't know till I showed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them is cracked at the joint where the tube meets the mounting bracket - someone probably tried to bend it for some reason and it cracked at the weakest point. I'll probably never use them, I want the car to be correct and fully functional. I'm pretty confident they are original - the rest of the car is original and they look like others I've seen in pictures of 72's. Just a hunch but pretty confident. Thanks!

Both of mine were bent/cracked. I just straightened them out & soldered them to seal the crack. Like you, I'll never use them, but at least they look OK.

Paul Bell Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Leo will have correct original ones for any year. Get what you need and wire brush them until they're shiny than maybe clear coat them so they stay shiny & new looking. https://koniksklassiks.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bell Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Because I have plenty time to do nothing today, I looked up the nozzles. Just for searching, here's the 1971 GM car parts catalog page. I'd say the Chevelle uses the same nozzle. 454 Chevelles got a domed hood so they were different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have a parts index for my car. I've looked but only found one that was in horrible condition and basically useless. Having the original part number is so helpful at times.

Paul Bell Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I actually have a bunch of printed catalogs, mostly that cover several years and models but they lack in some areas. I have a prized 1971 Chevelle Nova & Camaro catalog which shows every part. As the parts are no longer available, it’s mostly useful for verifying what came on a vehicle and what was shared between models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I have a couple that I scanned and put in a .pdf format (but not searchable like some). I can upload them to a cloud drive and post a link if there's any interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 See if this works. Should be parts manuals, a 72 Monte, 69 Camaro Assembly Manuals and some Factory Service manuals. As I find more, I'll add them to the drive. If the link doesn't work, let me know. I don't usually use the Google drive (my usual go to - One Drive is getting full). https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=18_OJynVVlC5yS2hAUTCQV0oXmGazawUC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a '71 Fisher Body Manual too, I'll upload that tomorrow when I get home from work. (they block google drive here at work for some reason) I can post it in a separate heading, so they'll come up in a search. I'll see what Rob thinks & go from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
