PS Adjustment 66 327

[Paul M.]

I just installed my rebuilt PS and just like the articles said, there was a violent spin to the left. I tried adjusting the nut on the end of the cylinder to get it better centered, but the threaded shaft turns when I turn the nut. Am I doing something wrong?

No. If it's turning the rebuilder apparently did something wrong.

Paul - I just went through the PS control valve on my 65 Coupe and the 'other end' of that threaded shaft has a couple of 'flats' that should hold it in place in the valve. The actual part names escape me now. Did you rebuild this yourself or buy it as a rebuilt unit? About how much threaded shaft is showing beyond the nylock nut right now?

That's disappointing. Thx for feedback

Paul, Are you adjusting the correct nut. You want to adjust the control valve nut to center the spool.

I rebuilt it about a year ago and I think I tightened the adjusting nut too much. I took it off today and was about to run the nut off almost to the end. I reinstalled it and was able to adjust it with no kick back, so it was a good day. Thanks to everyone for their advice.
