My windshield washer unit got melted in a carb fire years back, and I need to replace it, as well as the hoses, pump, etc. I bought a used one off of someone on this site a while back, but it turned out to be a POS - broken pump, no cap, etc. So this time I'm thinking of either a Japanese afternmarket or OEM type of unit. Ebay has a couple of options, including a Denso unit and others supposedly compatible with multiple vintage Japanese cars. Since mine isn't in the car, I can't compare, and am open to advice from you experts that may have replaced this thing before.

Thanks.

I had the same issue but mine was rust had eaten the tab insde the pump cap and then the motor fill with fluid. I took the old pump and the rubber boot that it sits in, to the local Auto parts store. I can't remember off hand what car it's for but I found a small pump with a black rotor cap that almost fit perfectly.

I bought it, took it home and used my dremmel with a sanding drum on it to widen the inner diameter of the rubber boot to fit the new pump motor. Everyhting fits, lokks and works perfect. I'll take a picture later on to help you find the right motor from the auto parts store. (about $10 I think)

Just took pics for ya. Should help ya find the right one. Cost way less than an OEM or NOS part and works probably better for years longer.

As you can see, a little sanding inside the rubber boot and it slides in perfect. The white wire of the pump goes to the black/yellow and the black pump wire to the black wire on the harness.

69-310-380 is the part number on the back, won't promise that it'll help but there it is.

Thanks for the pics. That looks like a great solution if it was just the pump, but I need the whole setup, tank, hoses, everything. I could maybe salvage the old reservior and just buy some little hoses and a new pump, but its old and yellow and crusty looking and doesnt have a cap. I'm just researching options at this point, but saw some pretty cheap units that looked like they would work on ebay. I'm sure anything that looks close to the OEM will probably work.

I haven't actually driven the car enough yet to get much of a dirty windshield, as its in the process of a full body restoration since June, cutting out the bondo and rust and all the fun that comes with that. What started as a couple of little rust bubbles turned out to be a major cluster-f, and having to order steel rocker elbows for each side behind the door to weld in. That's the way it goes, I guess. Hopefully it will get painted this week, if my parts ever show up.
