Default Name that Part !!

I was tearing into my steering column today and managed to get it into
pieces but this piece which
basically fell apart in my hand has me stumped.

http://public.fotki.com/hummingbirdxss/unknown_parts/

I have a new turn signal/high beam that I'm putting in so I'm not sure what
this does.
That's a rubber tubing running off the back end by the wiring.

Any help would be appreciated,

Susan S.

Ok, forget that post, found out it is the wiper/washer switch.
Cool, another 50 bucks for a part.
But thanks for the help anyway.

I'm assuming the tubes run to the washer.

Thanks Joey.
It would be so much easier if I saw how most of these parts came out, but
the car was mostly stripped before I got her. So I'm flying blind her
trying to piece it back together.

LOL..been there....but it is fun, and you will gain valuable experience in
the "rebuild" that way....experience that will help with future cars...there
are alot of rolling abortions out there and having the experience to not
only fix them, but to recognize them, is priceless...

The sad part is that it was my oldest son who began "stripping" the car for
it's paint job.
So many of the bolts, screws, misc parts have disappeared along the way.
Along with
his memory of what goes where. Considering the huge pile of parts-in-a-box
I've ended up
with, I think I've done pretty well.....with this group's help of course
!!!!
Now if I could just find my two other bumper brackets LOL !!!!!!!

Susan,.................I don;t know if you're trying to be a purist
here, or not. I do however, think that those 74 bumper brackets are
not worth the headache.O recommend adapting 73 bumpers and using 73
model fenders on it. (th 73 has elephant foot tailights, and slotted
bumper bracket holes.


>Now if I could just find my two other bumper brackets LOL !!!!!!!


( I have the steering column from the same 74 that I sent the wiring
harness from., complete with switches I think)

Scott,
I'd consider changing if I hadn't bought the bumpers. I know those shock
brackets are around here somewhere but between the hurricane and my son
"cleaning" out the storage building, God knows where they went off to.

I did manage to get the entire steering column off today and got it
repainted. Also figured out how the new ignition system goes in, so all in
all, it was a productive type day.

Even managed to clean out the drain holes in the doors LOL !!!

How did you fare with tropical storm Arlene? You still have damage from
Ivan? I'm out in Crestview and hardly got any rain but was expecting to get
nailed......

We've had harder rainstorms pass through than what we got with Arlene. I
too was expecting
some rough weather but with the exception of 6 or 7 hard gusts, she just
wasn't much to worry about.

No, I don't have damage from Ivan, but I haven't recovered from the
"pre-Ivan" preparations.
Basically, my husband and son opened the shed door and everything in the
yard and on the
screen room were thrown in. LOL !!! So even finding a hammer is an hour
ordeal here !

At least now I have my windows all in so I don't have to run out and tarp my
car every time a cloud
passes over.
