    Washer fluid reservoir on California box mass air cars

    I was perusing Craiglist in various parts of the country and came across a California mass air-equipped 1990 GM. I saw in the picture of the engine bay that they have a specific washer fluid reservior that is designed to bolt up to the box CV/GM fender. Might anyone be able to get me a part number for this, or know where I might be able to find one? I'm currently running a reservoir from a 1990 TC. It works, but it's not molded in a way that will allow it to mount correctly.

    Pictures, mine is on the right.

      Id be interested in finding one as well.


      I need a cali buddy to grab one from a yard for me


      This is how mine currently is (pic from 2009)




      Made a special bracket to support the front.


      EDIT. ON second thought it looks as if it may interfere with the fender braces....now to find a cali wagon to find out. lol

        I don't suppose anyone has a 1990+ master parts manual do they? That would tell you what it is. I have 80-89 only.

          I have searched for a digital version and to my knowledge, one doesn’t exist. Paper versions are out there but they aren’t as convenient and usually expensive.

            The 80-89 is "digital" but looking at it I'm pretty certain it was scanned from paper.

              I found a junkyard in Cali that was willing to ship one to me. It arrived this afternoon. It has some cracks around the mounting holes that I'm going to repair before I install it. It'll get a thorough cleaning beforehand as well. Part number is F0AU-17618-AA.

                How much did that end up running you?

                  Too much. $65 shipped. I had to see one in person, though.

                    Baller....


                    Id like to see it installed.

                    Still wondering if it will fit with the wagon fender braces in place. If it does I am game for one.

                      I doubt that they'd make an altered version for the wagon.

                        I agree with that 100%.

                        Its possible that they just never installed the fender braces onto those vehicles... I haven't seen a picture of a 91 wagon from california to see if all the bits exist on the car.

                        Once this one gets installed and we get some pics in I will be able to tell if it will all work together or not.

                          I bet they deleted the brace or both braces. I would love to know why those braces were engineered into the wagon anyway.

                              I wonder this as well.

                              Why the wagon over the others cars. Same front end.
