After disassembling and examining two different pressure differential valves (1970 Impala (http://www.musclecarresearch.com/1970-gm-pd-valve-autopsy) and 1972 Nova (http://www.musclecarresearch.com/1972-gm-pd-valve-autopsy)) I can say with complete confidence that I can provide rebuild kits (new EPDM o-rings seals and stainless steel springs) for both valve types. I just need to understand if restorers are interested in buying them. The retail cost would probably come in somewhere around $10 - $15. Would a product like this be useful?

I'm also digging into the proportioning, metering, and combination valves as I have time. You can see what I found in a 1978 Corvette Bendix combo valve here:

Good stuff Scott. I think your kit is a good idea and there should be some takers around here.

Good luck!
