There's a bunch of NOS 3 ways on ebay from one seller. One went for about 40 bucks. Search Hilborn.

I'd be concerned about the pressure rating on that piece.
Here's a scenario for you. You're in the 3 with your foot shoved down the intake manifold when you have to back pedal the thing. The fuel psi goes beyond thunderdome & blows the seal out your 30lb rated valve. Now your car is on fire & maybe you are too. It's your call, it's your car.
I am a small budget guy like so many of us, try building a 4wd AA/BFS on a 25k budget. But to me, that valve would carry too much risk.

I've missed a few on Ebay, still looking.......The Brass thing is not good for a fuel injection valve with alky or gas, needs to be cable operated too.... thanks guys.......Jim

Hey Jim, What do you need, a -6 or -8?? I might have an old -6 in with all my Edmunds midget stuff. I know I have 2 complete Autocraft setup's but there is boxes of odds n ends there too. Sid.
