Glad I'm not the only one who ever had this problem. Phew!
After closer inspection, I'm going to connect the line on the firewall to the wiper motor, proximity gives it away, and pump inlet and pump outlet to the manifold. It shows up the most times and makes the most flow sense. And it won't screw anything up, if it's wrong. If there's anything later, I can add.
My 30+ years of eng'g in hazardous chemicals have taught me to seek out other opinions when things aren't clear and to demand complete and thorough documentation on systems. 80% of all problems I troubleshot came down to not being run at design conditions. The rest usually weren't designed right or unforeseen/unresolvable.
Check, recheck, and check it again. Eliminates 99+% of errors. So far, the one I assumed and didn't check was wrong...
