Default Front end alignment issue

I have a 67 BB and replaced the power steering control valve. Now it pulls to the left with the steering wheel tilted in that direction. I've had the toe-in adjusted twice to no avail. Anyone have suggestion. It went down the road straight before I replaced the valve. Thanks John

Maybe your newly installed control valve needs a slight tweak on the adjustment. Did you do this/know this when you installed it?

A new control valve needs to be adjusted to center. If you did not do that, the valve will be pulling the steering to one side or another. The instructions should have come with your valve and are also in your service manual. Here is a picture of instructions

Thanks Mike, Is it self explanatory by looking at it. I did not think there where any adjustments on it. John
