Replacing FSV. Using ACDelco from Advance Auto.

[mocetane]

Bought a AC Delco FSV.#U7001. Anyone use this before on a 1988 F350 7.3 IDI ZF SRW.4x4? Plastic unit. Has a 6 port elect connector and wires.
Can't compare to old one yet. Appears I have to remove the front Fuel tank skid plate before I can see the original. Don't know if this is the right one.
The orig. does not "ZIP"/Switch (makes no sound---does not switch tanks)
Is it better to go with the Ford unit? It is probably double the Delco($74.88)
Delco is PLASTIC. Orig. is steel.
Also bought a Carter LP. Hope these will get some fuel to the filter. (Tanks are full)
Ideas/Suggestions. Ford vs Delco/Advance???

I used a cheapie from Napa and it worked fine only problem that I ran into was because I plumbed my big tank (119 gallon tank) from the bottom of the tank the pressure/weight of the fuel would push open the valve and it would fill the stock tank to FULL and I mean FULL. But once I plumbed the fuel back to the top of the tank and then down (to offset the weight of the fuel) I had no problems. The 6 port switch valve I used was solenoid driven not motor driven like the stock unit. Is the delco one you purchased motor driven or solenoid driven (just thinking a fuel project for some day)...

argve-----Sorry I can't tell if it is motor or solenoid--yet.
Instructions/diagram is in 3 languages at the same time. Fun for me.
I will be dyslexic for sure after figuring it out.
Will let you know when I find out. Will probably switch back to Ford on this piece.
Hate it when things(wires) have to be cut and spliced etc. like on this Delco.
Good time for things to crap themselves.
