Window washer in a 47 DodgeH

[central52]

Hi, again, Is this a window washer unit? It says "Renault" on it. and I notice tubes going to a washer nozZle on windshield, and to inside floor. Anyhow, it clutters up the engine compartment, and I want to take it out. However, I noticed one of the tubes coming off the carburator. Can I pull it off, and how would I close the opening? Thanks, Edv

I would think a D24 would have originally had a Mopar "Jiffy Jet" window washer system, which included a glass jar type fluid

container and a foot operated push button on the floorboard.    If the one shown is electrically or vacuum operated, I would guess

it's not the original item.

Tubing from the carburetor? It sounds like the windshield washer is vacuum-powered.  You can remove the tubing from the carburetor, or manifold, but must cap the fitting at the carburetor or manifold. You can use a short length of rubber tubing with some sort of improvised plug in the end of the tubing. 

 

Here I have a tee for the PCV system, with some sort of improvised plug in the end of the tubing:

The HELP rack at our local parts house should have a vinyl cap assortment.

Thanks, guys, Just wanted to make sure I can pull that rubber hose off the connection on the carb, and cap it. Don't need that washer stuff, since I'm just going to use car in good weather only. Ed
