RE: power steering diy
Ah you missed out I just sold my entire PS system minus the drag link on ebay.
The stuff in that link is good but new so it cost a lot. Look for that valve at a junkyard or ebay as they are bullet proof and any thing that does fail in them can be replaced for about 20.00 (and should be before you install it)
The pump went for about 150.00 bucks on ebay in good working order.
The valve brought in about 70.00 but was gutted and needed a rebuild kit (another 20 bucks)
Look around you should be able to find lots of options.

RE: power steering diy
A couple of suggestions, read the excellent information at
http://www.stangerssite.com/
Down load the NPD catalogue (npdlink.com) and do a side by side comparisom of the part numbers for the power and standard steering systems. This is the best way I know of to get a complete list of the different parts. Be careful with the 67 some have steering systems like the 66 and some are like the 68. If you have a "rag" joint in the steering column you are fortunate and have the 68 style.
I bought a complete used system and sent the moving parts to the guy at the stangersite for reconditioning. Excellent workmanship. Of course, I think this is the best way to go.... However, with hind site, I'm wishing I had evaluated using one of the replacement rack and pinion systems for not much more money. Just something to think about.
Good luck
