Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Those are the two clips used to hold the washer hose to the unibody at the cowl to pinch weld in the engine compartment

Since the export brace got in the way of where they were typically installed on 66 Mustangs built at San Jose the workers positioned them differently on cars that would be Shelby's

Here are three pictures from either unrestored examples or from cars in 1966

These all are from sub 600 cars if that matters to anyone

These pics are very helpful. I spent a little time yesterday fiddling with my windshield washer system. Does anybody have a tip to get the main hose which runs from the electric pump to the nozzle to seal properly at the pump? The nipple on the outlet of the pump is smaller than the T piece for the first nozzle, causing fluid to leak from the pump. I have tried a cable tie but this has been unsuccessful. I wondered whether I had the incorrect hose however it looks to be the same size as the hose in the pics above.

A few questions:

Is it an original pump or aftermarket?

Is the pump outlet cracked?

Is the hose from a new WW Kit?

A picture might help.

It's an original ford pump. The hose kit is not new however all of the hoses for the system appear to be sized correctly based on others pics I've seen online. The plastic nipple for the pump outlet is in tact, could it be cracked further in from the end and not be visible? I had the pump out just yesterday cleaning it up but have re-fitted it. Easy enough to get it out again to take a pic of things.

It might be good to check the outlet fitting.  I have not had a hose leak unless it was cracked or the pump fitting was cracked.  The hose should seal on its own.
