Anybody have any of the wedged shims for aiming the windshield washer nozzles? Or the GM part number?

Purchase some acetate film or folders from an office supply store. Cut it into 1/4" wide strips and put it under the nozzle. Put it at the front of the nozzle (Close to the windshield) to move the spray pattern up. Put the strips at the back to move the spray pattern down.

I've found that it doesn't take a lot to move the pattern up or down but to fine tune it you may need to put multiple strips under the nozzle. Be very careful in removing the hose from the nozzle. The nylon / plastic fixture is at least 36 years old so on my car , it has become brittle. (I would suggest that you move 3-4 inches away from the nozzle and cut the hose. Use a barbed connector to connect the hose when reinstalling the nozzle.)
