Power Steering Control Valve - 63

[Harry S.]

While storing the 63 in the back of the garage there was a trail of P/S fluid on the floor. I checked and the pump was empty.

Since I can't get under the car to look, are there any numbers, dates, codes, etc. on the P/S control valve? If not I'll just get another from Lonestar Caliper or another provider, else I'll rebuild the original. Who's the best at rebuilding the originals?

Comments recommendation welcome....

Thank

Harry, I have a reman control valve in my garage and looked to see if there is a date on it and cannot find one. just a casting number. although I have no idea if 63 may have a different casting number.

Harry,
There are three o ring type seals on the pump that may be the cause of the leak. I replaced the o rings on my pump several years ago. I also found a donor pump body at Carlisle and replaced that as well. I think it was common to use a pry bar when putting tension on the belt and denting the pump case thus causing a leak. I tried to knock out the dents but it always leaked until I replaced it. Now I noticed the bottom of the PS pump is wet but never seems to drip.
