Buy a Haynes manual.

The one on the left (buy the brake res) is for the windshield washer. The one on the right is for the headlight washers. Or you can just trace the tubes to see where they lead.

CHILTON'S SUCKS!!!

Every time I see a post from somebody referencing their chiltons manual its usually accompanied in some way by the phrase "I cant find__________ in my Chiltons". To those who haven't already wasted their money on a Chiltons: Dont do it. Get a Haynes (or an FSM as I'm sure someone is soon to chime in with). You'll be a much happier person that way.

i removed both, but will later reinstall them but not right now. I'm going to use the headlight one for an air-water intercooler...maybe just a nozzle to cool both!

I agree on the negativity about Chilton's manual. When I did my first brake job on my car years ago, I became so frustrated because the info. was actually WRONG - had me looking for things that weren't there, and didn't tell me to do things I needed to do, so I flung it as far as I could, and called a friend to offer advice. He told me my first problem was the Chilton manual, then he came over to help me with the brake job, and brought his Hayne's manual to show me the correct procedure.

Actually the older Chilton's are a lot better. It is just the newer ones after the '80's that suck big time. I have a Chilton's manual, for the Z. It is smaller, and is the white copy. It actually has better information in it. Compared to the greenish-blue one, I have. But still Haynes, Clymer, and FSM's, are the way to go.
