Anyone know how to hook one of these up to your truck??? It didn't come with any instructions on how to hook it up! My truck is a 53 3600 3/4 ton. I am at a loss!!

Is this a mechanical pump? The vacuum line from the wiper is connected to the pump instead of the carb / manifold. It's possible to use both if you put a check valve between the engine and the Tee for the pump so it doesn't draw fuel/air out of the manifold. You would only want to do this if you're using vacuum brakes or other accessories along with the wipers.
