    Looking for a working POA valve for my 1970 GS. The original is stuck open.

    I believe that I have the correct one, brand new in the box. We are in the process of moving my parts to our new home/shop, so it may take me some time to locate it. What's your time frame like? Thanks, Bob.

    I have a used one - No idea if it works. Also a NOS 2nd generation version - I believe functionally the same but not exactly correct appearing.

    I believe there are three different orientations, but all of the Skylark's should be the same. If you can blow through it with little/no resistance on the big openings and your fingers covering the small opening that doesn't have a schraeder valve, it is stuck open and would need to be rebuilt. If it works, it should block flow until 30PSI and then open.

    I would like to get my AC going this summer and this is my only holdup (been working on this since 2019 though). I'm casting a wide net right now to see what is available. I'm interested if you can find it.

    Based on above, this one is not stuck open. No idea what one is worth. How's $50 shipped?
