Kelly,
Is this what it looks like? I bought this one from Quickkit.
The Glastar is a bit odd in that it has both a left and right header
tank,
I think I'm going to first try returning fuel to both the header tanks at
the same time and keep things as simple as possible, if I can not get
even
flow I'll go to switching tanks. The simple approach supposedly worked
well
with their injected Continental at the factory.

That is what the electric fuel valve from JC Whitney looks like. It's
available with and without return lines. So 6 or 3 lines. They've been
used
in boats and trucks for years. Check online at http://www.jcwhitney.com

Also, JC Whitney has a Pickup truck front/rear tank selector (electric
valve) that would work too. I could wire a small relay to my Left/Right
indicator to switch the return to the proper tank.

I for one would not put in an electrical unit for at least two reasons.
It is more likely to fail than a simple high quality manually switched valve
and two it might not work in the event of an alternator failure while
you were running off the backup battery. Keep it simple.
