Rick: I don't have the CFTO, but if Rob isn't able to locate it, I can help by providing actual measurements, locations etc if needed.

I have seen two different reservoir types for the washer fluid: the bag style, and a cylindrical rigid plastic tank. Otherwise, to my knowledge the remainder of the components are the same. With M38A1's I have also seen mainly 2 variations of where the squirt nozzles are located on the hood or cowl. It will be interesting to see what the CFTO specifies.

I suppose the performance of the squirt pump is subject to a lot of variability as noted by Terry, but the ones I have had work very well in terms of pumping out a strong, full stream with each pump. If not aimed correctly, the stream will shoot right over the top of the windshield. Practical performance however, considering the near vertical windshield and the usual performance of the vacuum wipers, isn't exactly what you get in your average modern car.
