HELP -- Where is the Fuel Selector Valve in a 1977 model?

We can't turn the rear-engine fuel selector knob on my 1977 337G but we can't find the valve!

The IPC image (shown below) indicates that one is at the root of the left wing and the other one is on the fuselage just outboard of the circuit breakers. But we can't find them!

Thinking the IPC is wrong. Can anyone help.

Thank you.
Ernie

Yep that's where they are. Not easy to access but keep looking and you will see them. Flashlight and a Mirror

Hey Ernie
Hope you were able to find the valve.
The maintenance manual tells the location
For your model the rear valve is under the right rear window and the fwd valve is under the pilots window

I did find them, Kim, where you said they were. And Herb, in my 1977 they are NOT where the IPC says, in the figures I attached to my message.

I think the illustration is hard to follow, so that may be the problem but I looked up the location in the removal section and it's all there

In my 1977 G model they're exactly where Kim says.
