Here are some pictures of what my 4in1 FEL valve looked like when I got it.
While I was doing the upgrade I figured I would go ahead and remove the in tank Paper Filter and cut off the flow restrictions that it may have, as recommended by Ronald @ Ranch Hand. I also inserted all the necessary adapters to allow the hoses to connect via JIC.
I also installed an electrically activated 3rd function for the clamshell, stole this idea from Rob (3rl), he said he wouldn't mind. This is what it looks like installed, along with a pressure guage to complete the remodel.
Here is a link to the valve I used.

This is the diagram that I used to help me lay out my remodel.

The replacement of the valve and clearing the restrictions from the tank gained me 4 seconds, but the action of the valve is very smooth and predictable. Later I was able to replace the Gear Pump, which brought the time down to a usable level. Look here for the gear pump info.
