I dont know why not, I use a diverter valve from a 76 buick on my car. the real issue is the direction the pipes point.. mine point the wrong way forcing me to get creative in plumbing. but it otherwise works.

Thanks, that kind of what I thought. One end goes into injector pipe the other(?) I'm assuming the base of the carb.

no - there are two tubes on the back of the diverter valve - each one is plumbed to one of the check valves on the AIR rails. There is a vacuum connection as well.

Other than that vacuum connection there is no connection to the carb
