The Ford Barn

In the process of installing 57 TBird intake, carb, and distributor on my 56 Bird. Need a little help. Fuel lines and vacuum lines are different from my originals of course. I ordered stainless steel lines from a T-Bird parts house. My experience in the past has been that these repros can be pretty far off. These are far enough off that it's hard to figure out where they should be routed and how they connect.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there in the Barn who has a reasonably correct 57 T-Bird, 312 with a single quad (original type Holley 4150) who can take some close-up shots of this area (with the air cleaner removed) and send them to me. I sure would appreciate the help. I particularly need to see the connections such as the vacuum lines to the block fitting on the intake manifold.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
