Default 78 washer bottle

i have a 78 without a windshield washer bottle or washer pump. Where does it mount? what color is the washer pump wire? my wiring diagram shows pink. it also shows the wire coming off the wiper motor. Where? I see a small bump near a screw in the area of the cover my wiring diagram shows, but that doesn't look like a connector. Could it be broken off? any help????????????

The bottle is located under the driver side fender adjacent to the master cylinder.. a 's' shaped pipe puts the inlet just next to the master cylinder.

As for the wiring, i dont recall, though IIRC the wire comes off the harness that continues on towards the alternater.

here is a pict of my new bottle installed.

The wire colors are DkBlue (early '78) Pink (Late '78), and white or yellow.

They are routed from the plug at the washer motor to the bulkhead connector. the white/yellow wire runs to the fuse box, and the pink/dkblue wire is routed to the switch.
I hope this helps.

It's a pink and white wire with a 2 blade connector that comes out of the bulkhead connector (back of fuse box). See photo.
