Thanks for whatever you got,

Ref is hard to find for these things. Definately check local news stands for Drag Racing Magazines. Also try and look for some pro mod pictures. They run basically the same plumbing, just with fewer pumps and magnetos. I've got a couple of diagrams of proper plumbing. I'll dig them out and post them up.

Re: Top Fuel reference pics?

Alright, This should be enough to keep you busy for a while.

Barrel Valve Plumbing



This is an air system schematic, not sure if it applies to TF or not



top fuel fuel management



injector hat plumbing



injector schematic



sensor schematic



This is labeled as funny car wiring. should be the same for magnetos on a TF



Plumbing for the twin fuel pumps






Hope this helps....if it doesn't. I don't think anyone can. lol

Re: Top Fuel reference pics?

I've just picked them up here and there on the forums. I wish that I could give thanks to the members who have provided them and where at, but I cannot.

The colored ones I BELIEVE were done by a gentleman by the name of Hermann Marchetti.... he did TF wiring diagrams and nascar ones as well... they are very useful.
