misled,
This is a very clean build. your attention to detail I think rivals "N2TRUX". I am in the beginning stages of a daily driver build (on here too) and will be using some of your details to help with mine. thank you for the time of sharing..... great build so far!!

I was looking at his attention to detail and became envious. misled... just ignore me, I'll be over here in the corner quietly taking notes.

**N2TRUX** · 10-17-2019, 10:04 AM

I read through and might have missed it. Can you tell me about this switching valve? I plan to run a similar system on Jake.

I noticed this as well... would also like more info...

Ken,

This is the selector valve:
http://products.pollakaftermarket.co...n-valve/42-159

Can handle up to 65psi fuel pressure.

This is the kit they offer that comes with the selector valve, a DPDT switch, the connector for the valve and a switch plate that has main & aux indications.

http://products.pollakaftermarket.co...n-valve/42-300

The link has another link to a installation sheet with a great diagram for installation. the factory wiring and dash switch can be used to control the valve also.

Sorry folks, I was out of state a couple days.

This is the valve included in the kit I bought from GMACHINZ here on the board.

I appreciate the compliments all........some days I feel I will croak before I ever get the darn thing done.

Out of curiosity what do these valves run since the website doesn't state such?

About $73 on ebay, and another $20 if you need the connector...

.... as always... great work!!
