Re: Windshield wipers not working

Pict 3 is of a standard wiper without the washer components shown (only the indication where it's vacuum supply would originate). If you do not have a lid like the one shown as washer top in post 8, you do not have the normal 55-6 setup so it's kinda hard to know what to suggest--other than the water hose does absolutely not go where it apparently does. If you can post a pict of your system, we might be able to see if it came from an earlier year or yours might be broken which is why the hose goes directly to water--or it could also be an aftermarket.

The pictures (other than the washer top) all came from the service manual available on site here--basic hose hookup from the instruments section and the washer from the accessories section. If you do an articles search by year, Kev has everything pertinent to that year that is on site pretty well organized. There are instances where the tech bulletins or SC's (for example a 55 bulletin will have something for an earlier year) which won't be listed by year. For that, you just have to search or wait until Brian finishes his indexes.

EDIT: just read your last post--That doesn't sound like any Packard setup I am familiar with.
