Tore into the M29 T56. Absolutely immaculate. This thing was very low mileage. Magnets clean.🙂

Good deal! Also, random question for all of you:

Does anyone have a good part number for windshield washer nozzles for an Envoy? The universals I just installed spray the roof. Old ones had a 12, new ones say 16. I was led to believe that this is the width of the pattern, but am beginning to suspect it pertains to the trajectory?

Some of the online parts dealers have some great drill down menus that give part numbers even for discontinued stuff.

Tasca online wholesale parts is a good one. I'd take a couple minutes to look for you, but it asks about year and trim and such to get into things.

Think of it like the old parts and illustration manuals but electronic.
 
We sorted through a 'lot' of 1935 Ford 16" spoke wheels.

My buddy bought a guy out of his wheel stash in an attempt to get 3 sets of wheels suitable for use on the Model-A's (1x 2dr Sedan, 1x 4dr Sedan & my Cabriolet). He got 18 wheels total. I spent Thursday rinsing all the mud-dobbers nests & cobwebs off of them. Today we put them on a balancer @ the dealership to narrow down the good, ok, & the no-go's. We had 6x winners, 3x shop art projects, & 9 so-so wheels that we're going to work on straightening & trueing next week. These antique cars & their ancient parts requirements are a PITA to source @ a decent price/quality sometimes.

Same thing GMPartsDirect had, lists EVERYTHING except the damn nozzles.


They snap into the wiper cowl and the aftermarket stuff seems like a total crapshoot.

What I'm thinking I hate to say...

Some of the OEMs don't sell all the small parts, and the larger component comes with them installed.

We needed new chrome trim for the 'pony' group trim on one of the mustang grilles. Plastic grille was fine, the removable chrome was scuffed in an accident. Chrome bits had part numbers.

But you couldn't order them. From the serviceable parts side Ford only sold them pre-installed on the larger grille shell component.

So, insurance bought us a whole new grille and we kept the old one with the chrome imperfection as a spare.

Point? Could be those bits come on the cowl piece. Dorman and such make them, maybe you could take your old one for comparison to a parts store?

That approach already failed me once today and I'm still good and p!$$3d. I see no way to look at any old nozzle and know it's going to work. Amazon is full of adjustable nozzles with tons of reviews that they're nothing but communist garbage.

Could become a pull apart pocket item
