Hello all.

Can anybody tell me where i can find some good sources for early 1990's Top Fuel engine pics?

Car that i'm building is a Revells Lori Johns Jolly Rancher Dragster.

You can undoubtedly find everything you'll need on a Google image search. Try various search term combinations like "1993 top-fuel dragster engine", and follow the links to interesting looking alternatives.

Here's one for the particular car you're doing...

Searching images for specific engine component photos can be helpful too. Combinations of terms like "1992 top-fuel dragster magneto" produce results like this...(you will of course have to become somewhat familiar with the plumbing and setup evolution of the cars over the years, because not all the images you pull up will be date-tagged correctly to be accurate for your particular model).

If you are looking for pictures of early 90's nitro engines you can tell if they are early by wich type of magnetos they have, the large MSD Pro Mag 44's werent used until about 1996-97 before that they used smaller Mallory Supermags.
The fuel system was also changed from dual Enderle style fuel pumps to the Sid Waterman Bertha style pumps they use today in the mid 90's.
