My 66 MH has PS assist, the valve is pitted. My names may be wrong... The rod that comes out of the cylinder.

I need a new/rebuilt unit. Anyone know where I can buy one? LMC doesn't seem to have any.

The truck shop in CA has them but they are a 200.00 I believe, I rebuilt the one in my truck as they sell a kit but it wasn't rusty.

If it's the power ram you're looking for, Eckler's carries them. It's listed for an Impala, but I have one and it works perfectly...

I have the same system on my 66. Both the ram and the control valve leak. I bought rebuild kits for both from Rock Auto. I have yet to install the rebuild kits. It looks like the control valve is a bear to rebuild. I think Rock auto sold rebuilt units for both, but kind of expensize.

I bought a remanufactured control valve from Duntov (no core charge)

Ok, thanks newbe351! Duntov has a complete PS replacement kit so I bought that.

Not sure what kit you bought but Duntov is a Corvette parts source. The control valve is the same, but can't vouch for the power ram and I'm pretty sure the hoses are different. Eckler's has the proper hose kit as well as the Truck Shop in Orange Co.
