Help with air hose routing on this compressor?

Hello all! I purchased this a few months ago in pieces. It didn't include air lines and I need help on finding out what order they go? The smaller (piston) area is at the top of the pic, which ***** in on the left port, and out on the right. The larger piston is below the intake. But when I spin the flywheel, a larger amount if cfm comes out of the port on the right (the bottom of the two blue ones in the pic above) which leads me to think that that is the port which connects to the top of the air tank? However, on second thought, in that configuration that would mean that the two top ports (directly above the small piston) u-turn into each other? I'm not sure if that is correct? I'm just not putting it together? Can someone steer me? Thanks, Tom

What make and model compressor? Maybe a pic of the whole head? Usually there is intercooler piping from the outlet of the first stage, the large cyl., to the inlet of the second stage, the smaller cyl. Then the outlet of the second stage to the tank, usually through a check valve like a Load Genie.

Here is the tank badge and these are the only markings on the compressor, can someone give me any more info on it?
Rag: thanks for the info,I think you might be right but nothing else was included with it but the motor/computer/tank? Would it be ok just to "lung" it up with some tubing or is there anything cheap and easy I can do to get it working? It's just a home/weekend deal? So you say big to small on hooking up the tubes?

930: I'd love to restore the pump someday but right now I'd like to hear it run and use it! Any other thoughts?
