Non-plastic Tank Selector Valve?

[scorpion]

I'm re-plumbing my truck (74 LWB) During an EFI conversion and was planning to use AN fittings.  My selector valve needs to be replaced for the EFI and I can't seem to find one that has threaded ports.  All that I can find is plastic versions similar to OEM that have the plastic barbs.  Anyone seen something like I'm looking for before?  I would have thought that there'd be an hot rod like version of the plastic I ones for boats but all I can find is outside the cab versions (manual).  My other option I guess is to ditch the saddle tanks and go single rear blazer or Burb like Capt Chaos did.  My preference is to keep things the way they are.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Check out a marine dealer or WestMarine.com Silicon bronze or Brass fittings work best

Good luck

I know of non that are non-plastic.  Check with the WVO guys...

Think I'm going to do the relo to the rear for my EFI conversio  and ditch the saddle tanks.  One pump, one sending unit, one line...no extra valves.  Seems like the best plan overall.  Thanks for the input.

I guess you could opt for an aircraft selector valve if you have the extra $$ to spend. They're made out of aluminum with a brass ball valve inside

I think the single tank between the rear frame rails is a good way to go too.

That is what I did, see it here:

In the pic below, are the fittings you used to adapt your sending unit to the line...



Something like these compression fittings?

I originally missed that even though I read the entire post.  Lol.  Thanks for digging it back up for me.  With that nip of info, I was able to find part numbers for future reference.  Earls:

UPS just delivered my tank, sending unit, pump, and a few other goodies.  With this I will have what I need to fully install.  Thanks!
