Re: 2.8 radaitor overflow and windsheld washer fluid containers

They mount to the front of the wheel wells... Search for a couple of my pics and you'll see where. If not, LMK, and I'll send you to my CarDomain page. They only fit in one way, and the holes will line up when the bottles are lined up. Use either a couple of bolts and nuts or small plastic push pins (used to hold the plastic inner fenders to the sheet metal fenders).

FYI, the style and design of the bottles changed around 87-88, so it's very possible the ones you have won't work without modding them

new bottles are cheap, try ebay

Don't know for sure about the coolant bottle, but I've been running a 91 windshield washer bottle with the washer pump for months now. They should plug right in. The washer pump in the wiper motor (which I would recommend replacing with the one from the other car and rewiring the harness) just pulls the washer fluid through the other pump.

Washer bottle by the battery, if the battery is on the driver's side... They're shaped to go only on one side .

Re: 2.8 radaitor overflow and windsheld washer fluid containers

ok thanks guys. the reason couldnt figure it out was that the radiator overflow tube?, was to short to reach the passenger side so someone might of cut it so ill just have to get a new hose. thanks again.

The bottles changed, but the shape of the engine bay didn't. Bottles from any '82-'92 should work just fine.
