Title: 1957 Fairlane power steering control valve rebuild
Post by: vjjack04 on 2023-02-28 14:46
Folks,
Hello. This is my first post on this forum. Interested in getting some help from you experts. I am working on a friend's 57 Fairlane. It had a leaking pwr steering control valve. I took it off and believe I have the correct seals for the inside of the valve. However when I took the valve apart it seemed to have a mixture of parts which included two rubber seals on each side. And it was leaking. Does anyone have a exploded view of this valve which would show the parts inside and how they go together. I will appreciate any help I can get. Here's a picture of the part, and its status now.

If you have access to a 1957 Ford shop manual, the control valve repair is covered in a 5-page section.  The file size would be too large to attach here if I tried to scan it, however. 

Good Luck,
Dave

Working on getting that info for you. I took (5) photos and I will post them when my computer gets the email. Sometimes that can take an hour or two... no idea why...

Good job, Lynn.
Those pics brought a smile to my face............so 60's. That's exactly what I envisioned when I got and started on my car....cruiser skirts, lake pipes, spotlights, etc. Boy did I go astray, lol.
Welcome to the forum Jack (?).

Rich you can still complete that vision.  There are several good looking 300s out there in need of a little love.....
