schardein Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Found this looking through the parts catalog. Apparently some XJs (maybe MJs?) used a single washer nozzle in the center? I've looked at some very early XJs and never noticed this.
schardein Posted April 28, 2021 Author Posted April 28, 2021 I think this 85 XJ was in a post here at CC. The pics I saved aren't high res enough to tell, but the photo of the engine compartment shows a cowl cover that appears to be missing the spray nozzles from the usual location. Last pic is my 91 that shows the dual sprayers in the usual place.

89 MJ Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 It’s unique alright. I’m sure it wasn’t very efficient, which is why it was replaced. It was probably a pretty simple system though. This is another odd AMC quirk that I did not know about.

fiatslug87 Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I would love to see of picture of it when you bring it down. Edit: is that it in the center of the cowl?

Just a couple more weeks! @SoCalManche will be joining in on the fun too. Gonna try to visit a few members along the way. I know @Fernando87mj and I have been talking about meeting up before continuing the last hours of the journey home
