    I know that this is a very basic question, but I do not have a manual for my 73' comet. Could someone post a photo of the location?
    Thank You!!!!!!!

    If you have manual steering...there is no pump or reservoir.

    Look for an accessory belt running it off the drivers side. There is no detached/remote reservoir. The filler cap is on TOP of the pump and the reservoir is part of the pump itself. Can't miss it when you really look hard at the pump.

    Left side near the washer fluid reservoir. You'll see what looks like a can on it's side with a tube about 4" long sticking up at the rear of the "can". There is a dipstick that pulls out of the tube. You check and fill the reservoir through the tube the dipstick goes in. :)
