My windshield washer system is non existant - go with original or universal kit?
 
The PO decided to tear most of the wiper washer system out, and I have no idea where exactly things bolted up etc.

Does anybody have good pictures of the correct way it's done?

My wipers work only on low speed, so I'm considering upgrading to a new intermittent dash switch as well.

But other than that - I seem to be missing almost everything - Reservoir, hoses, nozzles. The pump is still there, but all the wires are cut and I can't verify that it works.

Should I start piecing it together from LMC parts, or just get their $20 "Universal Washer Kit"?
(I have a 4" cowl hood if that matters)
Thanks!

Don't replace the factory washer pump. They sucked when new. I grabbed a tank and integral pump off a '90's Chev at the wreckers for 5 bucks. It will literally shoot water over the cab and into the box, at least until I adjusted the nozzles down.
