Topic: 67 PS Control Valve

[Bob Gaines]

I try to buy the correct looking crimp clamps everytime I see them at the larger swap meets . There is typically a guy or two selling various types of fasteners. I typically keep them for fuel line and the power booster and or power brake booster for people doing concours restorations. Sorry no P/S ram boot clamps. PM me and I will set 67gta289 up with a couple free samples .

Good to see this thread pop up again; it reminds me that I'm still looking for an original (Bendix?) core. Have never really solved the leak issue with the control valve that's on the car now; which is a remanufactured over-the-counter part.  I've been watching the Marketplace here for a decent core that I'd rebuild with a factory kit - that seems to be the prevailing advice.   I'll keep looking and if any have one that's an extra, I'm interested.

Early (1/4" fitting on pressure hose) or late (5/16" fitting on pressure hose)?

The PS control valve on this car is the original configuration; 1/4" for an early SJ build (December 6 1966).   I put a new hose on early this year and can confirm the 1/4" fitting.

Back to clamps. Looking for direction for two clamps shown in pictures. One for the ball stud boot and the other for the accordion boot. For the ball stud boot the NPD one is not close to matching the original. Thanks

No clamp found on the cylinder end of the accordion boot, just the shaft end.  I have one original ball stud boot clamp extra if needed but not the other shaft clamp. The shaft clamp pictured is a replacement, I think it was out of a NOS kit as I recall. Both of the ball stud boot clamps pictured are originals for 67 and both are identical, one from a 6K25 (Oct 25, 66) dated cylinder and the other a 7C22 (March 22, 67) dated cylinder.
