on my 69 dart and 68 valiant neither of the foot pumps worked..and I just didn’t like them. So...pick a part, late 70’s dodge pickups...
Find a spot where it fits/looks good..
Wire it up (if you cut the manual washer hoses at the firewall you can feed the wires for a switch through those tubes)
No more dancing for fluid
I converted a mechanical foot pump bracket for my sons car. Removed the cup, cut out the bracket center, flipped the cup over upside down and tack welded it on from underneath. Then added a heavy duty pushbutton starter switch. Didnt even have to open up the center hole in the cup for the switch.
Running a stock A body electric pump and reservoir. Its only a 1 wire circuit. Run a single wire from the pump and pin it in at the stock bulkhead connector. Run it to the foot switch, and up to the fusebox for ignition switched power. The pump motor has 1 power feed, and is grounded to the fender with a mounting screw completing the circuit. Stick a plastic caplug in the firewall hole like is done with cars with electric washer.
I will be pinning the wire thru the same cavity in the bulkhead connector that the electric one is pinned in on a 69 barracuda. Planning on using 16 gage brown wiring and packard 56 terminals like stock used
I still got to paint the bracket gloss black, and fabricate a plastic shield for underneath it even though it will be pretty far away from the firewall and shouldent ground short. Keeps the button in the stock location. You can see compared to a stock foot pump its about the same height.
It's just an ebay generic push button start switch. BTW the hole in the firewall from the washer pump tubing I plan on running the capillary line for a mechanical water temp gage through that hole.
