windshield washer nozzle position?

putting a windshield washer into my always dusty truck. does anybody know the correct position for the nozzles? I have the repop nozzles but not sure where the factory put them. they added them at the dealer so their must be some kind of guideline. or if you have on your truck a ballpark measurement would be great.

On my '66, the holes are approx 8.5 inches from the edge of the hood, and 11 inches from either side of the hood centerline. I'll throw in a picture. If you increase the viewing size as much as you can, you'll see two little white dots where the holes are. Good luck!

Thanks! Looks like you bought the same "custom fit" air conditioning system from classic auto air. Nothing seemed custom... and nothing fit.

You're right, that is the Classic Auto Air "Perfect Fit" system. I agree, it was a lot more trouble than a simple bolt on. I have CAA factory under dash "hang ons" in my '64 Falcon and '66 Mustang that I was/am very happy with. This truck system was disappointing in a lot of ways, but it does work OK. Hope you were ultimately successful with yours.

Do you mean the actual center of the hood or from each of the body lines that run down the center?
