I have a paper copy of the PS Control Valve overhaul article that I copied 5 years ago.
Being the computer genious that I am, I'll try to figure out how to scan it & e-mail it to whoever wants/needs it. Failing that, I can copy & mail it.

Marty, just courious, my understanding is the 67' control valve has smaller hose fittings then the 68', is this the case, or was I mis-informed?

Mike,
Yes, there are two sizes for the inlet size. Most 67's have a 1/4 inch vice 5/16 (I think) larger one for the 68's. Not sure of the cutoff point. I have had both.
