Headlight Washer Pump

Regarding a headlight washer pump on a 1975 S, Can you use a regular Windshield washer pump Instead of the standard headlight washer pump?

I suspect volume and force of the water is an issue

Thanks

No; you need what you thought, more pressure and volume.

Above post is correct, the pump is special, high pressure, and uses a much larger diameter hose than the washer fluid system does.

Mine is probably larger than the fuel pump. About the same size as the wiper motor.
