Is there a diagram that shows the layout for the windshield washer system on the '51 cars. Where the nozzles go, routing of the hoses to them. I take it the pump on these is electric and not vacuum operated?

What there is in the way of layout is on page 6 in the accessories section of 51-4 service manual. The pump is vacuum and is fed off a port on wiper motor. It is operated by turning the same knob that controls the windshield wiper on/off in the opposite direction. The water outlets are built into the sides of the wiper arm mounts. If the option was not installed there should be two setscrew like plugs inserted in the openings.

Thanks Howard, how I missed that one. I downloaded most of the chapters before that I thought I might need. Guess I hadn't thought I'd need that one, but I have added it now.
