I've been thinking about re-installing the window washing system in my 1973 coupe. None of the parts are currently in my car, but they seem to be available. I'm wondering if it's worth the effort/expense/under hood clutter? Does the system work well, or is it an anemic drizzle? Thoughts?

The one on my 72 is original and works well.

Just one guy's opinion . . . but most of us don't daily drive these cars. If you're going for originality, then by all means get it working. But aside from that, do you really need it in a car you don't drive most of the week?
That being said, mine is installed and operational. The last time I hit the button was 3 years ago, just to be sure it worked.
It's only driven in nice weather, so probably not worth the bother. Thanks.
There is not many parts to the system, tank pump, hose and two spitter. Mine works really good. Worth it. All stock want everything working

There are other reasons to have them working.
When I was a kid, I aimed the squirters so they shot over the windshield of my truck and onto the car behind me. So sitting at a traffic light, my windshield would be completely dry and out of nowhere it's raining on the car behind me. I'd never do that today, but at the time it was hilarious seeing all the confusion on their faces trying to understand what was happening.
The best thing to do with the squirters set the up to squirt to the side, crusing at night soak the girls in their car as you go by.
