1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours, Not Available, 5.0L Eng, Eng CD CCCSECTION Installation

Align valve body drive pin on worm with narrow pin slot on valve body. Insert valve assembly into gear housing.

CAUTION: Do not push against stub shaft, as this might cause stub shaft and cap to pull out of valve body allowing the spool seal to slip into valve body oil grooves.

The valve assembly can be pushed in with one hand by pressing against valve body with finger tips, while pulling out on stub shaft with the palm. Be sure valve is properly seated before assembling adjuster plug assembly. The return hole in gear housing should be fully visible at this time. Install adjuster plug assembly (see above).
