windshield washer sprayer /nozzle

[kully 560]

well now, it has been some years since I used the washer in my 260z. mine sprays like a hose, are these supposed to spray in a spray pattern or like a hose.  thanks again

It's been awhile for mine too but seems like it sprays pretty hard unlike newer cars. I do know I used a needle to move the little eyeball like sprayer's direction so it hit where I wanted it to.

I am not sure if the 260 has the eyeball for adjustment. I just bend the brass nozzle, so it hits the windshield in the middle when driving. last summer I had to take the z in to the transmission shop for a tail shaft bushing and seal replacement. when I was driving there to the shop, I did use the washer and my wife was behind me laughing as it sprayed over the roof and was barely hitting the windshield. I would say half on the windshield and half over the roof. I guess it is winter so something to do on the z. I only see the one small hole in the end of the nozzle. is there supposed to be something in there?

I think the old style sprayers like the Z are junk compared to current tech. They bend out of position easy and clogged.

I guess maybe I will leave them alone if that is the way they are. just point the brass down a little more. thanks
