heres a Valet switch how to and part #'s

Its for my 2nd gen but it works the same on a 1st gen. I'm really happy with the way it has worked and will be putting one on my 1st gen. Hope this helps any one that has wanted one but was not sure how to go about it. The electric solenoid is cool but I really like mechanical stuff (like my pull cable kill) with less chance for things to go wrong.

Let me know what you think or if you have any ????

Does the 1st gen have the same size fittings as a 2nd gen and will a valet switch kit made for and '94+ work on the VE pump?

I would have probably saved some money this way. Good idea.

You will need a fitting to replace the banjo fitting on the pump but I can check on my 92 and see what it takes. All of the parts were about $50 and that was for all new parts. I got my switches for free.

The banjo bolt on a VE is very close to a 1\16" npt but I tapped mine out to a 1\8" npt.
