My old Cj never came with any of the washer fluid hardware...not hoses, no
fluid reservoir, not even sure where this stuff hooks up, how many volts it
takes etc. If I were to go to a junk yard,...can't I just pull any washer
motor and reservoir off of any vehicle and just add power to it or am I
missing something here???
Thanks!

About that simple... you would have to mount a switch on the dash somewhere,
and get the spray tubes aimed at the windshield. The OEM design has a
distribution nozzle set mounted just behind the hood vent.

I was bit more lucky. The wires and hose were there, but no canister &
motor. I went to the junkyard and got one from a old Daihatsu Cuore. Any one
would do with the 12v requirement, but this was the only square small one (2
liters) I could find at the time. The rest were odd shaped and way to large
(3.5 to 5 liters, filled to the max that would be to much weight IMHO).

You've got a what, `76? 4wd.com sells the complete washer bottle and pump
for about $60, (which is kinda steep, really). The OEM system had a
bottle bolted to the left inner fender, down pretty low and hard up
against the outer fender wall. You should find an electrical connector
there, it delivers 12V when you push in on the wiper switch. (I can check
and see if I can find the wire color on my `79 if you'd like). The hose
passes through a grommit in the firewall and goes to a dual-headed sprayer
mounted between the cowl vent and the windshield. If you go the OEM route
you'll probably have to loosen the air box screwed to the bottom of the
cowl vent and/or drop the dash a bit to get your hand in there.

If you need them I can pull measurements from my `79 for hole locations.
