Hey guy's Im anyone know of or have a new old stock control valve they would be willing to sell? I know someone has one, I am almost complete with my resto and the control valve is the last piece of the puzzle. 68 sedan 30,000 original miles. Thanks.

Hiya Danny,

I do have one.

However there are a couple of things about control valves (generally and this one specifically) that you should know.

Even if a control valve is in pretty shoddy shape on the outside, it is probably good on the inside.  I have pulled apart control valves that looked terrible on the outside only to find everything pretty clean and operable on then inside.  This is due to the fact that the air inside the control valve has been filtered.  That keeps the rubber diaphragm, o-rings, and plastic valves in good shape.  Moral of the story here is that you can spend less than $50 for a used control valve, make it look pretty on the outside, and you're good to go.

The NOS control valve I have I bought last year for less than $50.  I jumped it because it was a good deal.  It was bought as a backup to my current control valve and I do anticipate using it sometime off in the far future.  I would sell it but the cost would be extremely high.

Some people are just lucky.... lol

Yes, I agree with Mike
source a used control valve - prefferably from a car that was going OK
before the control valve was taken off...  this can be difficult to do...
but finding an NOS one would be priceless...

as they are NLA -

best of luck
