All internal I'm afraid mate, within the ecu's programming.

What about the vacuum controlled over-run cut-off valve from a 3.5 efi
(flapper) system, wired straight to the gas solenoid feeds?

Not if it is cut off by closing the solenoids.

Quite possibly. Try it and see over a decent length of time to see if it
works or not?

I'll see. 'ere, you haven't got a 38mm mixer to fit a 3.9 manifold, have
you?
is it possible to fit the valve from the flapper to the hotwire plenum? I
might have one of those in the spare parts department, depending on which
manifold/plenum set it is I have there.

Sorry mate, nope. I just order them in as I need them when doing
conversions.

Yep, connect via a "T" piece to the vacuum pipe at the rear that feeds the
fuel pressure regulator.

I'll have to see if I've got one.
