Went to the Pull a part today.. and yes it decides to pour down when I am at the further most part of the lot away from the office. Did find a couple arms, so guess it was a good day.
One has a broken spray clip. Should of robbed one off the other wiper arm. but did not noticed it till I got home. Got on the to call list if any vans come in that I can get some more off of.
Do auto parts carry the spray tip/clip?
Oh and thanks Chuck !

Hi Joe, "now for the rest of the story" Look close at the 2 wiper arms you have, there are 2 different models that will work and they look almost identical. One is more rounded than the other. I personally prefer the flatter style myself. They are hard to tell apart till someone points it out and you get them side by side. A small black wire tie should hold the broken nozzle in place till you can find a replacement. Since the Lumina wiper arms have 2 spray nozzles you will need 2 pumps to get enough pressure and volume to squirt the windshield instead of dribble. Some have replaced the washer bottle with one with 2 pumps off models with rear window washers but finding a good spot to put it is sometimes tough. I have been able to drill holes in a stock tank and add 2 pumps in the bottom with limited success since all are 30+ years old and brittle.

As Chuck stated he likes the flatter ones better. They lay flat when you
reamed out the taper otherwise the other style doesn't lay flat and you
have a balancing problem when reaming.

What year are the ones off of that you prefer Chuck.
One came off a 90 Lumina van and the other off a 94 trans sport.
Look the same.
Matter of fact I had gone to another pull a apart during the summer to find a washer bottle for my wife's Jeep. The one I got has a double pump. Guess for the rear window.
Found my wife's was just loose and leaking so did not have to use it.
Guess the coach gets it!

Still don`t know year and models but a friend send pics of his and they are the round ones, mine are flat. Notice the flat area around the mounting bolt then it has a noticeable rounded raise going up the arm where mine is flat all the way up the arm.

Either will work and look good, just as long as both are the same.

Chuck just looked at the ones I got yesterday. You are right they are different if you look close. The one off the 94 is flat. The one off the 90 is rounded. Really did not even notice in the pouring rain. The 94 has a bad clips on it. I think ill use it for a test arm to practice drilling them out and find another to match my good one.
