Preparing & gathering information to replace my fuel selector valve. Curious if anyone has the original pn# or information regarding availability. Maybe there's a newer version? Any help will be appreciated.

This is the one I bought, it is a direct bolt in, plug in and was super easy. No wires to cut. It isn't cheap but the headache factor for me made is a smart buy.

I bought the pollack generic one from Amazon I think. It works fine. The plug is a standard 6 pole weatherpack that is wired like this.
Here is the wire diagram from the factory plug.
Here's what the valve looks like.
Since I was starting from scratch on fuel system, I lengthened the pig tail and moved the valve from the stupid place it was up the frame rail a couple feet.

I have couple of these taken from other trucks. One may be designated as a sacrificial lamb for dissection.

If one of them is good, I'll buy it.
Yeah, Ford is pretty proud of them. Think that's a bit more than I paid 5 years or so ago for one.

Your Friendly Ford Dealer should have them for the Low Low price of $260. But then again you can get them from any Auto parts store for about $77 including the pig tail, only thing is, they mount horizontal instead of Vertical and have barbs instead of quick connects..
You didn't crack any teeth biting that bullet I hope.
The thing is, is why are you changing it?
Won't it shift from tank to tank?
Is it stuck and transferring fuel to the wrong tank?
Won't it shift at all?
I'll guarantee you if you don't fix the tank problem, like the tank filter (shower head) that's probably disintegrated and the rubber has gotten into the FSV.

I didn't want to spend that money, but my time was worth more and I hate, hate, hate cutting into stock wiring. I don't remember what our local stealership wanted but it was more than Amazon and I had to wait.
It does all kinds of things including routing return fuel to the other tank, and possibly (hopefully ) the source of air leak. Only seems noticeable during cold weather under moderate acceleration. I think Laserjock (and possibly others) mentioned in a previous post the valve can become clogged with remnants of the old shower head. Anyway I've replaced both tanks with new poly tanks and new senders & new pick-up screens, should be good there. Unfortunately I didn't blow lines out or check valve during this time, when the job would have been much easier. The current valve is original equipment, 30 years old, over 300,000 miles. If the new replacement has similar service life, I won't need to worry about it........
