Power steering control valve question
Where can I get a power steering control valve for a 1979 Corvette at a decent price?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

The rebuild kits are like $12 at Autozone, Schucks etc. I don't know if they are any good but they are the brand name Gates.
I looked into these rebuild kits from autozone they are complete minus the boot that goes over the ball shaft. In my case my boot was torn to I went to Ecklers and purchased the complete kit for around $25 dollars but if your boot is good the a/z kit is alright. They arent hard to rebuild just pay special attention to the balancing procedure if not it will badly bruise your arm thru the steering wheel

I got mine from Van Steel. The part was perfect, got to me right away and was balanced. All I had to do was swap it and my steering problems were solved. Price isn't everything.
In fact, the steering is so well balanced that now I know the car pulls hard left under braking... it's always something!
