At the very least, go through the various T-bird vendors' catalogs and look for illustrations showing systems like the PS setup to see what you may be missing rather than guess. GET OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD AND ORDER THEM NOW!! You can't work in these cars without them. I'm assuming you don't have the '62 shop manual and '63 supplement, nor any of the factory body/trim or electrical assembly manuals. You should be able to find an original-style pump fairly cheap, and they're rebuildable by a mechanically-inclined person with a reseal kit and a basic understanding of how they go together (study the shop manual). T-bird parts vendors also have this stuff as well as places that specialize in old-car brake/fuel/PS lines do have the hoses and hard lines. Chances are someone parting out a '63 will have everything you need for the wiper motor/fittings, PS pump and brackets (you need to tell us if the car has A/C or not, as the original pumps differ in terms of reservoir on the inner fender (w/ A/C) or not (non-A/C has reservoir on top of pump). If you're using a '65-newer Ford pump with the fluid cannister surrounding the back side of the pump you should be able to run a hose for the return line from the hard line that's bolted to the side of the inner structure to the return nipple on the reservoir if it has one. Your power steering pump should be irrelevant as the supply line goes from the power steering box to the wiper motor, and the return line from wiper motor to the power steering pump to complete the circuit. I use a plastic bottle with a hole punched in the lid and a rubber vacuum hose that fits snugly on the wiper inlet tube. The procedure to do this is as follows: Connect a clear bottle containing Dot 3 or 4 brake fluid to the inlet tube on the wiper motor located under the dash.
