    Power steering control valve dust cap?

    I was told during judging that my 1970 Coupe is missing the power steering control valve dust cap with an X stamped in it. (Ref. Judging Manual, Chassis, Power Steering)

    Can someone post a picture of what I am looking for and where it goes?

    TIA,
    Mike

    this recent thread I found by entering power and steering and X in the search box is pretty descriptive.

      The cap fits on the centering screw hole and is very difficult to find one. Rebuilt valves have a cap with a "C" stamped on them, as do the new replacement valves. The C signifies a different tension screw in the valve. If I remember right it is a lighter pressure screw. Took me over a year of salvage yard diving to find one.

        Here is the original cap from my '69.

          They make them in reproduction now with an X on them.
