Where can I find a Diverter Valve

I'm looking for a Diverter Valve for a 92 Camaro 5.0 V8. Sadly, all auto parts stores are discontinued
AC Delco part number: 17088105 or 214-116

I prefer new, but am willing to go used if the part isn't too old or worn. My smog guy said to just replace the grey sensor... Unfortunately, he didn't realize that it's one piece with 2 sensors (black and grey). Oh, well. Here's some pics of what it looks like. Please get back to me if you have one or know of a hidden utopia of them somewhere online! Thanks!!



Discontinued everywhere!


As you can see, there's no way to replace just the grey sensor.

It's not one piece. The solenoids pop right off. The trick is finding NEW! solenoids. The easy solution there is to use used solenoids.

Re: Where can I find a Diverter Valve

thank you thank you so much for the info, Drew! I'm going to search around for new solenoids. I'm also going to keep an eye out on eBay and at the local salvage yards.

Re: Where can I find a Diverter Valve

if 86blackiroc can't find it I have a whole unit sitting on the shelf in my garage. I have no idea if it works or how to test it though.

Re: Where can I find a Diverter Valve

I also have the solenoids, used, but working. But I am in germany. If you can't find them in the US, shoot me a PM and we can work things out. I always ship and order international, so no problem sending them to you.
