Need Help Identifying a Part

Post by nathan_f »

So this is mounted underneath and to the rear of the rear air filter housing. Looks like a vacuum pump of some sort, maybe? It obviously isn't plugged into anything at the moment, and I can't for the life of me find any reference to what it is based on the label.

Just one pipe or two?

Looks like a 12v washer pump to me.

So I initially thought the same, but the pump is integrated with the reservoir on this 78. It also only appears to have one connection.

Aha! One of the inputs must have broken off this one and a previous owner installed the unitary reservoir/pump unit.

My 1977 BGT has a placcy bag for a screen washer reservoir and the pump is on the passenger side bulkhead.
