Hello Birders!
I hope someone can provide me with guidance. About three years ago I replaced the control valve assembly on my '59 because it was leaking on the spring (outside) end and was just tired. Just recently the replacement control valve began a small leak on the inside end.
So I bought a rebuild kit from one of the T-Bird houses and In disassembling the control valve to install the new seal, I noticed one of the seals looked very different than the one I removed. I have a couple pictures of the one I removed, but don't know how to attach them to this post.
When I installed the seals that came with my rebuild kit, it now leaks considerably on the spring end. I don’t know if I just have the wrong seal kit or if I need to have you rebuild the valve. I’m now wondering if I need a different kit, possibly this rebuilt kit was for a different year or model.
Any suggestions?
Does anyone sell just rebuilt valves (I don’t need the balls stud sleeve as it almost new)?
Thanks in advance!
