Help Identifying NOS PS Valve Kit Applications

[Dereck S.]

Looking for help identifying the applications for an NOS power steering valve rebuild kit. GM #5691151. I bought this nearly 40 years ago and don't remember the application. The valve body housing has the GM 5685459 casting number used on most valves. However, some of the other parts don't appear to be for Corvette. I don't have a GM parts book. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

It's an adapter and sleeve kit applicable to 1963-82 Corvettes with power steering. It's also applicable to 1963-64 passenger cars.

Thanks Joe,
The boot retainer through me off. It's not typical of production versions with the bent retention tab. It's more similar to the manual steering boot retainer with the fasteners. I would have bought it way back when for a Corvette application. Like many kits it's intended to cover more than one application.

Keep in mind that this is a SERVICE kit. GM SERVICE kits have always used this type of boot retainer, I suppose because they consider it easier to install in the field than the bend-over-tab type of retainer. I'm sure that maintaining exact original configuration is not even on the list of priorities. In general, GM SERVICE parts are the same as PRODUCTION but this is just one of those exceptions.
