Thanks for the reply.
Look to www.fumoto.com for the valve.
The F-106 N is a 16mm tread valve with a 3/8" OD barb. I think the
application guide said that the 4.7L needed an adapter but I installed mine
without it and it works great.
They part arrived at my home 3 days after I ordered it online. They did get
the order wrong (I ordered two, they sent one) but a quick phone call and
they fixed it in two days. Everyone makes mistakes, it's how you fix'um that
distinguishes decent folks from the others. I'm very pleased with the
company and the product.
Patrick
