P/S Control Valve-original look

I need to replace the PS control valve on my 72, and all of the rebuilts require a core return. Is there any difference in the original and a rebuilt?, if so I will keep the original for down the road.

Thanks

I just bought and installed a new valve from CC (along with all the other ps stuff). CC will buy back old valves for around $35 ,I think.

If your valve has the origional dust cover snapped over the adjusting nut, and if the cover has an X stamped on it, Keep it. Most rebuilt valves have a C, or nothing stamped on the cover! Thad

I agree, and in addition, the "X" indicates a different power assist ratio for "vettes". Also, the plate mentioned early is simple to remove.
