Is it worth replacing the valve or should I just use an older filter?

Up to about 89, they used just 2 barbs, after that, there was a
"recycle"
thermostatvalve in the top of the filter, and the return line passed
through
that, returning to the filter to warm up the filter in cold weather.
Once
the filter was up to temp, the return fuel switched back to the tank.
