Gary Lewis Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Those look to be the right parts, but they are EXPENSIVE! Glad I'm converting to the later setup. Still, if that's what you need to get going..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve83 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 They're still available new at most parts stores in one box or another. But they're all made by Pollack anyway. http://supermotors.net/getfile/862069/fullsize/02bwdfsv2a.jpg https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07588SGWV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013FY5KW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049UCF82 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GVFCJML https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HR6H9SP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 5-port valves and I thought the 460's and the diesels take a 6-port. Plus, the ports look to be for hoses and not the quick-connects Ford used. And, the electrical connector doesn't look right. But the last two have the 6 ports, they appear to be the quick-connect type, and the electrical connector looks correct. Is my rememberer off the rails again? Anyway, I'm glad to know there are options available at a reasonable price. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those all have 6: 2 on the engine side, and 4 on the tanks side. The Ford valve is the same one, with the nipples cut off & the quick-connects sonically welded on. For low-pressure (non-'90-up-EFI) applications, it's safe to revert the factory fuel lines to hose; or add adapters from the lines' quick-connects to the valve's nipples. It's also very easy to swap or adapt electrical connectors - no reason to pay a ridiculous price or use an antique valve (either already damaged by ethanol, or not built to handle it with modern materials).
