Casey Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Look through the Drag Racing Models section, Allen, and you will find lots to look at: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showforum=23 Which year range are you working in? Maybe we can narrow it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 check the web sites for the component manufacurers - there are some diagrams there. Moroso's dry sump plumbing schematic is an example - it seems to be timeless - was a good reference diagram in the 70's, still is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Here is an example of a Dry Sump.Oil System An example of a Fuel System. They started to use Vacuum Pumps in modern Pro Stock engines some years ago to make vacuum in the crank case wich makes horsepower, and many others use this system too...and here is a pic of how that system is set up. In fact the Pro Stock racers use two separate Vacuum systems now, one belt driven pump and one electric pump wich gives more vacuum for a short time and are only used under the run itself. A picture of the electric pump wich you can put anywhere on the car close to the engine. Hope this helps.

shift13 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 You guys are simply incredible I never thought of finding the sump diagrams. Understanding the components is easy but knowing where and how to plumb it is another. So for future modelers like myself im going to start a step by step tutorial I cant thank yall enouph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You're welcome. Even if you know the basic components and where they are placed on the engine it's easier to understand how they work if you actually see how the lines are routed.

ScaleDale Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Summit Racing is a good source. A lot of the parts they sell have installation diagrams included that can be downloaded from their web site. Pick a part type like electric water pump and put it in the search box. More than you ever wanted to know is right there. Also try specific Bing or Google image searches like "pro stock engines" Stay away from Yahoo or MicroSoft searches.

shift13 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Seems the parts sites have been more of a help than anyone else. google has helped a little but They just dont show the drivers side of the engine. But im struggling witha couple problems In late 80s early 90s Were crank spun fans being competitively used? And when were chain driven distributers become more popular? Rather than off the cam? THe fan just dont quite make sence to me Edited February 17, 2014 by shift13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift13 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Getting this technical can be frustrating and allot of fun. Makes me feel like im working in an actual shop. DO they make "grinding steel,welding smoke,grease" scented candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
