Hi
Sorry for my absence .... The washer bottles are turning into a problem as with age they become brittle and no replacements are out there ....maybe NOS but I have to follow that trail yet .....just don't squeeze the bottle like I did when closing the lid....got it fixed though with a hot glue gun, putting the pieces together and then closing with a full layer.... bottles changed design in '85 and again in '86-'89. I think yours is the long narrow type off closest to the passenger side of the cowl . Inspect the back of it closest to the windshield look for small hair line cracks.
The washer hoses shouldn't be a problem...the large hose from the pump to the tee is 1/8" I.D. and can be replaced with emission/vacuum hose ...the thin wall stuff up to the wipers from the tee is around 3/32" I.D. and is usually an Auto parts store standard item...I've never had a problem getting it. Napa, Pep boys or Auto Zone should be able to source the stuff ....Dorman used to make full kits which were car model specific.
