I keep seeing that I should have a glass bottle but I have a black plastic bottle tucked on the left side 1/2 under the fender. It looks like it should be there but ???. My car also does not have any washer nozzles and I am not positive where to run the hoses. There are clips on the cowl that will hold hoses but I 'd like to know for sure. Where can I get the nozzles that are exact fit? Thanks Guys Al

Al,
Washers were an option, also the two speed wiper. Generally the solvent bottle under the front corner of the drivers fender is an opaque white. I've seen the black one in '64 models. The switch for the wipers, will have a button in the center for the washer feature. The button will not be there if no washer option.
As for the nozzles, I'm sure some one has an extra set. You are correct that the clips are for holding the hoses.
The glass bottle held extra solvent to be added to the plastic tank and then diluted. It was also used as a fuel deicer.

Loren/Al,
I'm pretty sure the nozzles are the same on all a-bodies. I would check OPG, Year One, etc. for new ones.

Mark/Loren, Thanks for the info. My car does have washers. Did all the washer cars have the glass bottles ? I did not know what it was for. The oldest GS I had was a 68. The 65 is way diff. but I love it so far. Al

Other then the color, they look like the correct style. Everyone I've taken off, have been white zinc plated matching the screw color.
