I need some engine detail pictures

[The Modeling Hermit]

I building a 56 Chevy Del ray, and I need some pictures of carb linkages and return spring details. I'm also updating the power steering, and I need some modern power steering unit location and detail pictures. I've been all over the net; actually just coming off an over two hour search, and all I can find is general engine pictures. There must be an unstated law somewhere that any thing that you need a good detail shot of, must be hidden in shadow. This is for a late model small block Chevy V8.

Does anybody have any good CLEAR pictures of the things that I just mentioned?

Just a side note here. When building the framework to go around the inside windows, straighten the ends of the windshield. It angles against the wing windows and is thicker than them, and that makes it hard to build the pieces for the inside frame around the windows. Also don't forget to make the assist straps that hang on the center posts. Centered above both of the side windows was a small hook that was usually chrome. This was used to suspend a rod for hanging clothes. If you look closely, you'll note that this is modeled here, although I think in this case, the application is a window location, but one could go ahead and BMF it, and add a little detail.

Try Ebay Motors, most of the time the nicer the car, the more pics the seller will post. You have to settle for a Belair, but I'm sure You should be able to find something.

Go to Dave Lindsay's "engine" albums.

If I might suggest: If you are going to build the windshield interior garnish moldings (for that matter, the rear and side window garnish as well, it could well be easier if you replaced the kit glass with .015 or .020 clear plastic. Those are both much closer to scale thickness, and would give you a lot more room to do those inside frames.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with the original Saginaw power steering pump, which GM Delco mounted on the rear of the generator.

I hope this helps... at least for the power steering Q's:

Thanks everybody. Ebay is where I started, and the detail was always covered by the air cleaner. Lyle the link to Dave's site was just what I needed. I replaced a computer several months ago and lost my link to Dave's site, and I couldn't remember his name. His site is to car people as Hank's truck pictures is to truck people. Jon, Sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm going with an alternator, but I'm still keeping that excellent drawing. Art, I've tried using the thin plastic, and I do on flat surfaces, but I never can get it to mold in to curved surfaces. I guess that most of us have one thing that we just can't make happen, and this is mine, but I'll still get there in the end. You've all been great, and I appreciate this very much.
