Default Power steering control valve

Anyone have experience with this P/S control valve, any helpful hints? I already bought a rebuilt From A Corvette vendor, has warranty. Vette is a 79.

Hook it up and see if it works. You might have to adjust the valve so it doesn't turn the wheels by itself. If it doesn't work and it has a warranty return it and get another one. You can also rebuild your original one inexpensively.
