    Washer Pumps Junk?

    I got my washer pump wire up and running yesterday only to be disappointed in the out put.  All I got was a little dribble of fluid out of the drivers side port.  I thought it might be something wrong w/ the setup or the pump but I read a dozen discussion postings from people w/ the same results:

    https://www.amazon.com/Mustang-Washer-Pump-Speed-1965/dp/B00THMP6XI
    http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/classic-tech/353372-1966-2-speed-washer-pump-problem.html

    It seems these recreations are kind of junk and just aren't strong enough.  Has anyone had similar results?  I was thinking of just getting a universal pump.  As long as it's 12v it should work the same.

    Before purchasing a universal pump, you might take a look at the alternate pump that Ford used on the cars equipped with single speed wipers. It's cheaper than the 2-speed version.

    I was just digging around on Dennis Carpenter website Saturday for some Galaxie soft parts.  I am pretty sure I saw a rebuild kit (rubber diaphram) for the original pumps.   Might want to check into it.  

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Uncle got this as replacement, definitely a good alternative.
