Does anyone have any literature on how the windshield washer mechanism works in a '57 Buick? Does anyone have any experience with one? Is there any way to check one out on the workbench? There are (4) vacuum hoses which attach to the washer unit. There is a spring loaded plunger mechanism inside. How does it create PRESSURE to force water out of the bottle?
Does the vacuum suck the plunger down and then when the wash button is pushed it releases the vacuum and the spring forces the plunger up? Also there is another piece that fits inside this plunger that has a small spring attached to it. Can't figure out just how it is suppose to work or what it is suppose to do. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
