I have driven the car with it bypassed. Its arguable whether it makes a huge difference. What I can say is that in the past the valve has proven to be dangerous if not in good condition.

Ordered a front and rear set from Legendary. Price was much higher, but honestly if they are correct it will be well worth it. Looks like a 1 month lead time due to the Parchment color. Thanks guys!

Thanks. You would think most parts houses would be at least offering the best quality repro's they could find. Lately it seems to be the opposite.

Who makes correct arm rest pads?

Is anyone making a good repro of the arm rest pads for a 67 hardtop? Seems like these are impossible to get right at this point.
