I found the solenoid, muffler, and some of the couplers, but Grainger has 'limited supply' of most of it. Anyone know of another source for the Prestolok fittings?

 

I just did mine and I did not use the "Prestolok" fittings. I would go to a hardware store pick up some 1/8" npt compression fittings (the kind with the plastic not brass). I had some at work so that is where I went shopping. Also I could not find a 1/16 npt fitting so I just drilled and tapped my AFC cover for the 1/8" npt which is the same as the pyro size so I already had the tap. The only thing that I actually bought was the switch and the solenoid.

I got my switch from Wal Mart it is a on/off and has a red led in the tip of the switch that is on when there is 12v through the switch to the solenoid.

i found those at Lowes website...did you use the ones with barb fittings and slide the hose on? Thats what I was thinkin, its just the prestolok would look better. Ill probably do it this way those.

 

The ones I used did not have a barb, it has a nut when you take it off there is a plastic sleeve in the nut and a small pipe type thingy that stick out from the center of the actual fitting. I wish I knew the name of it then I wouldn't sound so DUMB.

 

Clue me in please.

What's a valet switch and what's it for?

 

A valet switch is used to turn off the pressure to the AFC housing that comes from the intake. This action doesn't let the fuel pin move (due to no intake pressure) which intern doesn't let all the fuel that is fed from the action of the pin to go into the VE pump.

I'm sure I messed that explanation up somewhere. Maybe this will be better. It reduces fuel to injectors????

Thats alright I dont the name either but know what you mean. What did you use for tubing? Think you can snag a pic of the setup for me? THanks.

 

I will try go get a pic but I don't know if it will load I have been trying for 2 days to load the pick of my fuel pin. I use a black hose don't remember the name but I will get it and let you know. I will go out now and see if I can get a pic.

You can get the fittings at most truck parts you can also get the NyFlex Air Brake tubing is assorted sizes, but I get most of my Air Brake line and brass fittings at Hose Man.

Graingers has a real nice catalog but when I go the the store they never have what I want.

There is also McMaster-Carr

Randy, check at napa in weatherford, they have a lot of truck brake stuff, probably gonna have those prestolock fittings also, might have to order them but i'm sure they can get them.
