Few installation questions...

I'm putting my FB back together with another engine, and I've got a few questions about how things should be put back together. Some things just aren't making sense, and usually that's because I'm missing a part.

Does anyone have a picture of their accelerator pump linkage? For the life of me, I'd swear my threaded rod is about 1/4" or more too long. I'm missing something here.

Also, what's the correct coolant line sequence for heater core, oil cooler, etc? I can't find a diagram anywhere, and once again, I'm sure I'm not understanding something correctly.

Threaded rod should stick through the hole in the acc pump lever about 1/4". Nut goes on top, spring underneath.

Short hose from top of T on the end of the hard line to passenger side heater core nipple. Longer hose from other side of T to upper nipple on bee hive.

Long hose from driver's side heater core nipple to bottom of T on engine block. Short hose from top of T to lower nipple on bee hive.

Oh, OK, that makes sense. Didn't realize the spring was supposed to go on the bottom. That would explain it.

I could use some pictures of the coolant line routing if anyone has any. I still can't picture that. Must be missing something.

I'm still having some trouble figuring out exactly how this should go back together, does anyone have a good picture of the accelerator pump linkage? I've got a million springs and **** all over my workbench, it's hard to tell what goes where.

In my signature is the link for the FSM ( factory service manuals) There is also the Carburetor manual. Down load a copy and then next time you won't have to wait for an answer! :-)

I've looked through that a few times, but unfortunately it doesn't have what I'm looking for. What I really need is a picture of the linkage so I can make sure I'm hooking it up right, the FSM assumes you know what springs go where.
