'57 Ford McCuloch Blower Instructions.

[Skip]

I have the Revell '57 Del Rio kit which includes the complete McCuloch Blower from the Fairlane kit as well.  Does anyone have the assembly instructions for the blower to add to the Del Rio?

If you have one of the Nascar kits it is there. I'm sure someone here will send you a copy of the instructions from that kit if not.

Is that a 2 barrel carb?

Wait, so the Del Rio has the blower included in the kit too???

Bad, bad ideas are forming in my head.

good question...I've never noticed the carb on one of those before.

 Every reference I could find  said it was a 4 bbl...

Yes, the '57 Del Rio does include the McCuloch Supercharger parts, same as the Fireball Roberts version, but no instructions to assemble it.

http://www.revell.com/support/instructions.html      These instructions are also the manuals.hobico.com mentioned.

I found the instruction for the supercharged 312 on the Revell website of all places,  looked like the the 57 Ford Custom would have included the McCuloch supercharger but it didn't at least by the instructions it doesn't.  The Mac' Supercharger was included in the jFireball Robertts version, I would have thought the other way around.

Thanks to espo, mike 51, Dave Lindsey - SoCalCarCulture, oldnslow,  JTalmage. For chiming in.  Even though I found the instructions myself before checking this post,  you were all of great help.   Guess this something we need to look at creating is a list of urls which have instructions for model kits, which needs to include club sites like Drastic Plastic who has scanned instructions on their website.

Robert asked the question on the carb.  The '57 supercharger and duel quad engines used the '56 style carbs. They were known for floats that would hang up and flood the engine thus gaining the reputation of being called the "Towering Infernos". But that was what Ford used. If you got a '57 with a single 4 barrel it was the Holly with front and rear float bowls. I think that because the Holly was a longer carb. they couldn't use it for these applications.

Thanks for the info, wish I could find a pic of this without the cap on it.
