1960 Windshield Washers

Does someone have a better diagram of how the hoses are hooked up for the washers on a 1960? I have an assembly manual but the diagram isn't real clear and I (nor my mechanic) can figure how to hook them up so they work. I have had the pump rebuilt and have a new vacuum canister but I can't figure how out how to hook the dagum thing up. Help Please!!!!!

I need to hook mine up, but I haven't had time to play with the hoses. I plan to use the drawing from the Paragon web site. It may be the same as the assembly manual, but it looks like a fairly clear diagram. Good luck!

Glad to help - between this pic and the labeling on top of the washer reservoir at each connection point you should be able to figure it out. I had to do the same thing.

Diagram

Worked like a charm. For the first time in the 5 years I have owned the car the washers work. The original owner paid about $3 for this option and for that kind of money by golly they should work.
