Gordie...

Here's a picture of a 54 Manhattan with the relay you mention.  It does indeed solve the problem.

Hollenway:

I see a washer fluid bottle up near the firewall on yours. I don't see any evidence on mine that it ever had washers. Did you add them or were they factory. If you added them, where did you put the jets? Cowl or hood? Is the pump manual or electric?

I've looked all over for a 6 volt electric pump with no success. Bought a "Pushbutton" mechanical pump for a british car but have not installed it yet. Couldn't find one of those old "beehive" type pumps that go on the floor.

Any advise you can share?

Hollenway, Always love Your Pictures... I thought at first You had a Black Dragon ???.. I am G.B.Bonham LM 4307 with the all Vinyl Dragons. We have meet & emailed before... Lowel Johnson just restored the All Green All Vinyl Dragon. they only made 5 of that type. He used to have one like mine but sold His to Nauman in TX. On the Dragons the washer jets are on the square chrome area on the inside  where the arms attach. The washer button was on the left side under the dash , under the light switch. That is on the bottom of the dash... Best, G.B.

The washers came from the factory as you see them... vacuum operated pump and the jets are part of the wiper pivots.
