Power steering control valve 1/4” or 5/16” for 1967 Shelby?
« on: October 28, 2020, 11:43:31 PM »
What is the consensus on the date change for the pressure port on the power steering control valve pressure port for a 1967 Shelby?  Mine is a May 1967 San Jose build.  Was it a transition during 1967 production (early vs. late) or had the change from 1/4” to 5/16” been made before all 1967 Shelby production?

Thanks in advance

Jon

So I’m assuming 1/4” is what we should be using?

Yes . The C8 marked 5/16 pressure hose helps support this consensus.

I was going to send mine to get refurbished. I'm not 100% which one of the three I have was off my 67 GT500. Is there a part number or anything else I can use to distinguish it from a regular mustang one (if there is a difference in the first place).

If there is a best looking casting use that one to rebuild would be my advice. There is not a Shelby unique power control value. They are the same as regular Mustang.

The aluminum end caps are dated, so you probably want the one off of your car.
