Power steering control valve 1/4” or 5/16” for 1967 Shelby?

[1175]

What is the consensus on the date change for the pressure port on the power steering control valve pressure port for a 1967 Shelby?  Mine is a May 1967 San Jose build.  Was it a transition during 1967 production (early vs. late) or had the change from 1/4" to 5/16" been made before all 1967 Shelby production?

Thanks in advance

Jon, the change happed after 67 Shelby production had ceased.

So I'm assuming 1/4" is what we should be using?

Yes . The C8 marked 5/16 pressure hose helps support this consensus.

I was going to send mine to get refurbished. I'm not 100% which one of the three I have was off my 67 GT500. Is there a part number or anything else I can use to distinguish it from a regular mustang one (if there is a difference in the first place).

If there is a best looking casting use that one to rebuild would be my advice. There is not a Shelby unique power control value. They are the same as regular Mustang.

Bendix valves right?

The aluminum end caps are dated, so you probably want the one off of your car.

Yes.
