Keith,

I can recommend Gary Ramadei for the steering box rebuild. I don't know if he does any of the associated power steering components.

If your Dad's '67 has factory original power steering on it now, I would certainly get the original parts refurbished. Maybe replace the power steering cylinder instead of rebuilding, I'm not sure about that. I think there are differences between original power steering pumps and more recent replacements, including the cap (metal original vs. modern plastic, I think).

Also, I would want to reuse the original pulleys. I don't know if they have ID markings (they probably do), but who knows how many different ways the reproductions might be different from the originals.

Re: who rebuilds power steering set up

everything appears to be original to the car. I know he wants to replace all the pressure lines and hoses. but the power steering valve, and the piston should be rebuilt. I see the sell rebuild kits for the valve are they that hard to rebuild?

Keith,

Pretty easy to rebuild the power steering cylinder, not too sure about the power steering valve.

Beware of replacement cylinders, I got one with metric threads, then I had to find a metric castle nut.
