,
I have a PDF of the October 1949 version of the AD-2/-3/-2Q/-3Q Pilot's Handbook, but there is no description or diagram of torpedo carriage in it - so do not get that one.
Also, there were apparently 2 different methods of carrying heavy ordnance on the centerline. The later used a short pylon& rack. The early type used a rack with the main body of the rack inside the fuselage as shown in the drawing here:
