Cold start valve; revisited
I was looking for one of these for my `87, & read on the forum that they were made of " unobtainium ". Just checked with my local NAPA store, & the guy ordered me a new one, cost $ 67.50. It will be in by thursday. FWIW

NAPA guy called back at 6pm, & left a message that he can`t get one, they no longer make them.

FWIW, I checked my parts book and found the following:
1985 Valve Kit, Cold start.....17110858
1986-1988 Valve Kit, Cold Start.....17110860
It looks like the '85 is all by itself. My book is old. Check for superseding numbers. Possibly, at THIS late date, they are both serviced by a common kit. Also, I checked the AC Delco site. I couldn't find the valve, either by part number cross or by application. They DID show the switch, a pipe kit, a fitting and a gasket, but no valve or valve kit. Good luck, guys, and...
RACE ON!!!
