Hey-
I have a 73 explorer & now I am the proud owner of TWO broken 6 port fuel selector valves. I would appreciate a lead to a FUEL SELECTOR valve diagram, or anyone elses experience with the 1973 (beta testing year for bronco emissions)
The 1973 bronco is the only year 66-77 to use a SIX port mixing valve. This trucks prior owner "solved" the problem by installing a 4 port valve in place of the broken 6 he gave me. I have very little idea of where the aditional 2 lines were routed, and have not found any leads to a diagram to show how the lines running to the switch were intended to go.
Other than to keep looking for a used 6 port valve, I would LOVE to figure out what type of product to use that would fix the broken valve.
Most of these break in the same way, if you use a 3/4 wrench to open the valve, the rod that goes to the selector handle and also turns the valve itself (inside) has a pin in the end of it that mounts inside of the plastic valve barrel. This is where it usually breaks. So... what kind of glue or epoxy could I use that would remain intact when immersed in gasoline for the rest of its life?
OR... where can I get new guts for this valve?
Thanks in advance.
