Windshield washer system install
I am currently redoing my car and decided that I would install a washer system. I have a single speed wiper setup currently. I bought the Drake kit that has all the parts (except a new switch) and it is mostly self explanatory with one exception.
How/where do the squirters mount? Do they squirt up through the cowl? The best that I can tell you mount the hose right below the cowl on the firewall and then stick a little hose with the squirter up into the cowl while trying to line it up to shoot through the louvers.
This kinda seems....half-***.... the hoses and fittings are all exposed and it looks like a aftermarket amateur install. What am I missing? Or is this "just the way it looks"?

RE: Windshield washer system install
On my 67, that is just the way it looks. Everything under the hood is exposed and it shoots up through the cowl vents. There is a rubber gasket that goes along the top of the firewall that covers most of the washer pump plumbing.
