Default Suggestions - Power Steering Control Valve

It looks like I need to replace my Power Steering Control Valve on my 1978 corvette. Can any of you share with me a good vendor to purchase one. I have read there are a lot of poor-quality units on the market. I have read somewhere Lonestar in Texas is known to be a good vendor for that part.

Maybe its just my great luck, but I sent mine to Lone star I guess a year and a half ago to get rebuilt....... about 100 miles later it started to leak again.
I should have tried to rebuild it myself. Also mark where it sits on your relay rod before removal and count the number of turns.
