High pressure fuel tank selector valve

[jrblanke]

I was going through the part list from Glock's project Fred and couldn't find the fuel tank selector valve on JC Whitney's website, so I don't think it is available anymore.

After doing some more searching, was able to find what I think is he valve on the makers website. I did not request a price from them. The Pollak part number for the valve and connector is 42-302 and can be seen in the link below.

I was able to find one for 50 dollars, but it might be a knock off.

Has anyone else ordered the above valve or can share the part number of the valve they ordered?

Thanks,

I've looked into this as well. What I've discovered through others, is that the GM installed valve on 87'-91' TBI Squarebodies is identical to the Pollak valve. One of the shop owners near me who specializes in LS swaps for 73-87 C10s has been running a factory replacement valve in his 87' with his 6.0L/4L80E swap for over a year with no problems. I believe he used an ACDelco branded replacement. If I recall, he stated it was stamped Pollak when he opened the box.

ACDelco U7000 is the part number for the 3 port valve. As we know from Glock's thread, the 3 port is really just a 6 port with caps on the return nipples. I'd buy that and yank em' off and run with it.

If you feel the need to, the "genuine" 6 port is ACDelco U7001.

Thanks for the info! Do you happen to have a part number for the connector?

I found it cheaper on Rock auto for 15.87.

I ordered:
Fuel tank select valve - U7000
Fuel tank selector Connector - 1P1132


Thanks!

Cool, good work! I was trying to find the PN for it, but I kept finding stuff that was around $45 for the pigtail, which just didn't seem right.

Just thought I would throw some info in here for the next guy looking for the proper fuel selector valve. I my self have been looking for a selector valve to handle the higher pressure of fuel injection. After finding this thread and reading and doing a little research of my own this is what I found. I'm the type of person that wants to see it in black and white from the manufacture of the maximum allowable fuel pressure. For the Pollack valve part number Bulk-42-159 it was stated 65psi. Here is a link to where I found the information.

For the A/C Delco U7001 valve I was able to find the information right from Auto Zone's web site by looking up the part number.

Hope this information helps the next person looking for it.

Anyone order and use these parts for their LS swap? Looking into this myself and there is limited information. Also, as this is a plastic housing, how are you all making the transition from tank to selector valve, and from selector valve to fuel rail? I'm a little skeptical of using a clamp on connector with a high pressure system. I have visions of fuel spraying all over the exhaust when a hose blows off of the valve.

I think if you use the correct hose and keep it short with the full circle clamps there should not be an issue with them coming off
