Looks good, they're identical. Don't know about the current draw though. My Dan-Marc valve is 1.25 amps; 0.75 amps sounds good. I wonder if there has been a change in the past year to a lower current draw model.

It's the same model number. I have them on both of my Valk's and one spare. Thinking about ordering a couple more.

Yes, the valve does offer some restriction, but by itself or with the addition of a very free-flowing in-line filter provides sufficient flow for the Valk. You have choices on powering it. Some people use a small relay that is good for a couple of amps and trigger the relay from the ignition coils black/white wire. Others, myself included, don't use a relay. I ran a wire back to the 5 amp auxiliary power circuit underneath the right cover and this works well. When powering the solenoid directly from the ignition coils it sucked too much power and starved the coils at high rpm  uglystupid2 causing a bad miss.
