Need instructions (photos?) of installing a power steering control seal kit

I have a leaking '62 power steering control valve. I see many different seal kits out there, and would like the best one to install. They range from 9.00 to 15.00. I did my slave cylinder with a Gates kit and it works great now. I have no break down of the control valve parts or procedure to do this. So, if someone has done this lately and used a kit (which one), please send the the info.......Thanks....

I think there was an article on one of the old Late great Chevy mags that showed how to do this. I believe they had one for the steering box, cylinder, control valve and pump each in a different issue.

My mags are buried right now, maybe someone with easy access can locate the issues.

Yes, I saw it was written Aug of 85. I went to the Late Great site but it not there. Still searching....

As Cecil posted, the 61 shop manual has the rebuild info with pictures. I think the seal kit I used last year for my control valve was from Omega. Picked it up at a local auto parts store. No leaks.

Thanks for the help. I will look for the Omega kit. I want a good kit (real rubber seals) to go in and not have to redo 6 months later.
