The whole transaction has been cursed I think as the double glazing windows, that ...

power steering box for 73 Roadrunner

Mine is leaking like a sieve, through the input and output seals, so a new one is required :'(

Could anyone point me in the right direction please !?

Can they be rebuilt ?

Often it pays to open all the bleed nipples and gravity bleed the system overnight. The lack of pressure in the lines doing it this way prevents the shuttle from displacing from its centre position and thus avoids shutting off an outlet port. Cheers Pete I did think this for future issues. thought ...

That is the thing with after market proportioning valves, the threads. Catches many an unwary pilgrim out. Usually the 'domestic' variety has the more usual UNF/Metric type union fittings, rather than the odd ball american stuff that can show up AN etc. No biggy, just chop the ends off the pipe fla...

i have a universal wilwood adjustable laying around somewhere.... I have very little experience with all this but I presume it should fit ? Ie the brake line connections will be the same threads ? If you come across it, could you fire over a part number and I will have a look into it buddy... Many ...

Proportional valve / brake distribution

I frantically ringing around UK suppliers to try and find one, so I can go to the one car show I had planned, which is this weekend... So far I've tried wasp (mark is coming back to me) and us auto parts,...

That's great Dave thank you Ive messed around with the unit now, trying to see how it works, so I'm not even that confident about putting it back in (even if it is fine, which it isn't) Like Pete said, I'm sure the shuttle is jammed. I spoke to that wayne 'the Ram man' guy who is meant to be a Mopar...

Ive put an electrical tester on the switch and its showing a constant circuit...

SO I'm thinking you're right Pete, the shuttle is jammed, blocking the rears

Anyone know where I could get a new distribution block ?

It isn't blocking the port pete as if I put my thumb over the proportional valve (with the inners removed) the air flows through just fine Now when I put the valve assembly back, and do it all up, obviously the spring is pushing the piston back up, blocking the hole. The only way I can see it allowi...

I'm trying to work out how the proportional valve works. Does the rear part of the system require constant pressure to keep the spring compressed / piston in the down postion ? As it stands, the distribution block is out and the proportional valve is assembled. if I blow through the rear brake inlet...

So this diagram shows my Distribution unit. When I drop the nut and spring from the Proportional valve, the plunger was stuck up inside the bore... im really not sure if this is my issue as the piston is hollow, and looks like the fluid should flow up through it when the chamber is full anyway!? I'l...
