Fuel Tank Selector Valve

Okay, so here's the deal:

I am replacing my entire fuel system on a 1977 GMC K15. I was removing the Pollak fuel tank selector valve in the freezing cold, and I snapped a port off of it. Long story short, I absolutely cannot find a 6 port fuel tank selector with the single solenoid instead of the 5 pin connector harness. The only product that comes close is the Standard Motor Products FV1T. Attached is a pic of the type of unit I'm looking for. Does anyone know where I can get one??

Thanks very much, I will use the 5 pin connector style one if I have to, or use the 3 port unit and delete the vent lines.

Re: Fuel Tank Selector Valve

http://products.pollakaftermarket.co...S_41-revdd.pdf copy this and use it to wire your truck, go to autozone and get the five wire valve and the switch for the dash for a 82-85 truck, those valves are motorized and the new switch says "depress fully" the new switch will fit where your old switch is now, you just have to file the opening a little, be careful not to make the opening tooo big....I have done this on two of my trucks since you cant find the old style solenoid valves anymore.....I went to pick n pull and cut off the five wire plug from a 82-85 truck then wired it in ... http://products.pollakaftermarket.co...elector-valves this site also has the five wire plugs instead of going to a junkyard...good luck

Re: Fuel Tank Selector Valve

Yeah, it's a shame because I really like the design of the older valve. If I just would've waited until it was warmer I wouldn't have snapped the plastic! Thank you for the prompt response, time to buy some parts

I've got the Pollak valves and connector pigtail for it w/diagram if you need a complete kit. $65 shipped for it all if you want to go with the new style valve.

Re: Fuel Tank Selector Valve

Hi Gmachinz,

Yes I am interested if you have the full setup. Will I need to buy the fuel tank switch and wiring or are those included in said kit? Also, I am unfamiliar with online transactions. Do you have an online store?

Re: Fuel Tank Selector Valve

I have a few good uses GM dash switches that can be used with it. If you need a dash switch too I could do $75 shipped for it. I can either process a CC over the phone or you can use paypal.
