1967 brake booster check valves
« on: October 23, 2014, 10:45:19 PM »
Since there is a good discussion going on regarding 68 Shelby brake booster check valves, thought I'd start a separate topic to cover 67 Mustang brake booster check valves.  I'm guessing Shelby's used standard Mustang valves?

I searched the forums and didn't see any prior information on this topic.

Pictures are welcomed!  :)

Depending on where the car was built made the difference if the valve was the same as the one installed on Shelbys at San Jose. Then there was the two recalls - first for the valve and then for the booster which included the valve. Because of the recall of the Midland boosters (what was used at San Jose) there has been allot of campaign kits and individual valves for sale over the years.

Recall information is included in the 67 Shelby section of the Library

Pictures of the valve and campaign kits for the boosters are shown in

That will get things rolling - now to search for a clear picture of a pre-recall valve on a unrestored car ;)

Wow, great info!  Do we know the cause of the problem requiring a recall? 

Wish I could provide a picture but my booster has been replaced by and aftermarket unit.  :(  Gives me something to look for.

Thanks for the info and links.
