Hi DaveDee, I have not Tightsteer but I understant that the meaning is not to repair worm gear which is in bad condition. I have learned that Tightsteer works so that the adjusting screw has a suspension that allows better contact over a wide range. Like to buy one. Before that lot to do with my project.
I suggest you open your Steering Box and check condition.Thanks for your suggestion. I am disabled so it will be my mechanic who will do this. He has found other problems that he will address first. There are some who think the Tightsteer is a bad idea for my car but I guess we will see.

I recently purchased a 1969 Avanti and it has considerable steering play. It has one of these installed. Has anyone used this and how much correction will it do? I fear that the steeling box will have to be rebuild.

I have a note from the past that says ANCO 25-15 wiper blades fit 63-84 Avantis / there are some on Ebay
Thank you so much for the information. I did find some.

Does your car have a chrome diamond shaped piece in the center of the cowl panel between the hood and the windshield? This should be the squirters for the windshield washers.
No. Just a hole. Thanks for the information.

My '71 has a vertical rocker switch on the dash panel (low and high wiper speed). In the center of the switch is a button that activates the windshield washer. I have an inline pump and a FoMoCo reservoir bag (gotta get a Stude bag). As far as the blades go, I replaced the bayonets with the correct silver ones). Easy find at NAPA. If this helps, I can post some pix for ya.
I just have a round knob that activates the wipers. There is a hole in the center of the cowl that I assume may have been where the washers would have been located. If you can post pictures and a further explanation it would help me. I haven't had a car this old in decades and really can't remember about the wipers. Should I be able to get refills for my wipers? I have wipers on my 1990 Mustang that I can get refills for. Thank you so much for your information. Sorry for my slow reply but I thought I would get an email notification every time someone posted.

Wiper blades are like asking people which paint color you like best. I have tried several different brands and still have no favorites.
THere should be a washer
I am not interested in brand but just what number of a brand or brands to look for. I cannot find exactly what to buy and have found most "name" brands to be acceptable. So hopefully you can send me in the right direction. If there should be a washer then I will assume that it was not an option and someone must have removed it along the way. How was it triggered? Thank you for your help.

I recently purchased a 1969 and cannot find information on what replacement wiper or wiper refill to use. The wiper is very short about 15 inches I think. Also should the car have a windshield washer? Sorry if this has been answered but I could not find anything on this site. Thanks!

I too would like to know what a replacement wiper would be for my 1969 which I recently purchased.
Electric trunk release
in 1965-83 Avanti
Posted
I have a 1969 Avanti that I would like to have an electric release added to. I would like one that has a remote control. I would like this as something that I could use all of the time and also in case the cable release fails as I am disabled and cannot use the hatch on the rear parcel shelf. Any suggestions as to what to buy and if this is even possible? Thank you.
