Crossofiron1971 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hello all, Come up against a bit of a wall... Researching the Packard Merlin V1650-7 and cannot see where the priming line manifold (Item 3) is mounted? Also, what feeds the manifold? Thanks in advance Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachtwulf Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Looks to me like it connects directly to the inter cooler box which feeds the back of the intake manifold. you can just see it poking up behind the valve cover in this pic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossofiron1971 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks Dale! So difficult finding a plan view of a Merlin! I think I see where you are coming from, is it the bit with the red & blue tip? Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry c Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 This is from a Packard Merlin gallery on flicker by KW kid. I do not know where the fuel comes from but the mechanical fuel pump is on the lower left rear. The primer is probably on an electric pump to prime before start.
