Top Fuel Dragster Engine

[Dookoo]

Hi all

I need some help, guidance. please please

I need to scratch build a Fuel Distributor for a top fuel engine, i cant seem toget the Scale right

Can any one help me with this please. in terms of the scale of the square ?

As well as the scale of a Barrel valve please these two blocks are driving me insane. Ive looked at tons and tons of images but they all seem to differ.

Has any one used the MSD aftermarket magnitos ?

if so can you explain

If they seem to differ in the real cars than they are made by the teams themselves. Race car teams make or have parts made the way they want them.

Can you post a photo of what you want to build? That might help us to help you more.

Fuel blocks and barrel valves will vary by year and even by teams , it all depended on who thought they had one better than the others

That said here are a few pictures I snagged off the net maybe a year or so ago. Not sure who or where I got them so I don't have scale info but maybe they'll help, maybe not.

Barrel valve style here is I believe a later 70s design .

Or, do a search for postings made by Charlie at Protech, he seems to have nailed the look perfectly ( I think he did the setup in these pictures as it looks like his work )

found one of his , This car just knocks my socks off

I can only dream to have my builds come out this nice
