I'm glad you posted that. I was going to go seek out my examples to photograph but I just couldn't bear the thought of wrestling with those parts group 6 tote-bins. Those things are heavy and I've got a lot of them I'd have to go through to find the filters and elements. Now I don't have to!

FIXED!

I can't say enough good about the service and warranty from Lone Star. To summarize, I bought a used Zip Products power steering kit for my 67 350 HP conv a year ago and just got it on in January. I would guess the kit was 2 years old by the time I got it on, but only had about 200 miles on it. I sent my pump and control valve to Lone Star after a phone call to them about my problem. I sent them on the 13th, arrived there on the 18th, received back on the 24th via FedEx. They found some "gunk" (their word) in the pump but not enough to cause a problem. But they found lots in the control valve. They sent me a rebuilt pump and new control valve...no charge...and paid for the shipping back!! I told them I did not expect any warranty because I bought it used. I tried to pay them for their work and transportation, but they refused.

Today I put them on and they worked perfectly. Did not have to balance the control valve either....and no leaks!

I did add a small power steering fluid filter because of Rich Mazzetta's suggestion. It is NAPA #81-0589F or Cardone #20-0038F and cost about $15.

Thanks to all for your help!!
