Fuel Switch valve
And even Pollak and SMP say their FSV will work...but they do not look like this....the lines are reversed, and the mounting points don't match up...this isn't even proprietary BS...Pigtail orientation doesn't matter, nor whether its a blade type or bullet type...adapters are available...usually...- ulmapache

compression values
Have not been able to get any values on the googlemachine...starts good when the GPs are working...another clue...replaced them about 6 months ago...back to hard starting...found a fuel leak around the FSV...I think that is half my problem...just had the entire fuel system replaced from the...- ulmapache

compression values
Cool beans...so if 400 is good, what would be the minimum for decent compression? Is there a lower value that one should not go below when deciding whether to spend more $$ on an engine unless a rebuild is next on the list?- ulmapache

compression values
Actually, I was asking what are 'normal" numbers for an engine in good shape...should be a range of values out there...*** pounds when new....*** pounds when getting ready to die at 500,000 miles...that will give me a good idea of what kind of shape that engine is in... Numbers like 150 pounds...- ulmapache

compression values
Anyplace I can look up compression values and blowby for my '84 f250 6.9idi...odometer has rolled over an unknown number of times...Whats a good number to work with? Want to determine if truck is worth putting anymore time and effort into...new IP, injectors, and GPs...looks to be around...- ulmapache

Premature GP failure
Aftermarket water separator..GPs went from 4-5 seconds to 10, to 15...and still won't fire for at least 30 seconds of cranking...with breaks every 10 seconds or so...so I don't trash the new starter...- ulmapache

Premature GP failure
Forgot to add that I have a manual GP... Have seen solid state controllers, any good? And how hard is it to go back to one of these systems from a manual set up?- ulmapache

Premature GP failure
Ok, 6 months ago, R+R'd GPs, used Berus...now acting like GPs are failed again...any suggestions on why they would fail so soon? Manual GP button... '84 F250, 6.9idi, T-19 2WD 160,000 miles...I think. Runs well when she runs...- ulmapache

air intrusion
Ja, that might be the solution for now...don't want to mess with the fuel system on a piecemeal basis...if and when I do, it will be the whole schmazozzle...IP, injectors, lines...the whole thing.- ulmapache
