Windshield Washer Pump Question

[Tinkerman]

Mornin all. I have a Tudor reservoir bottle and pump to install on my 60 TR 3A. Which of the two pump outlets goes to the reservoir? Also, where is the pump usually installed?

Your help, as always, is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Tinkerman

Try it in water first and see which one spits.

Tink,

Here is where mine was installed although I think I remember others stating that it should be near the center console.

If no one post before I get home from work, I can supply a photo of the piping in behind the dash as well....

Cheers,

That would be great MP, thanks.

Dick-

Just put your finger over one of the holes - if you feel significant pressure on the downstroke that will be the outlet - you will feel less pressure on the inlet side I think.

Inlet will actually suck yer finger and impede the "button" return, too.

Hi Tink,

Not much help with the photos I am afraid. Actually, as you can see on mine, I have three connections....one for the inlet and two outlets....one to each spray nozzle.

I think the guys above have made good suggestions as to how to figure out in and out. If you are not sure, I would cut to short lengths of tube and get a glass of water. Try sticking one end at a time into the water and that will show you pretty quickly which one sucks and which one blows.....

Cheers,

Typically dealer-installed, I believe, so pretty much wherever the dealer felt like putting it. Here's a shot of the empty hole where TS39781LO once had one.

Mine is nicely balanced with the overdrive switch and the rheostat for the heater fan. That's where the dealer put mine when I bought my 1958 TR3A brand new and paid $15.00 for this dealer-installed washer additional option.
