Anyone know where I can find a new or rebuilt POA valve for a '65 GS? Thanks!

Actually, the STV went out about mid-year '65.  My '65 GS is one of the very first ones produced (01C production date), and it had a POA valve on it.  Call Classic Auto Air in Florida--they rebuild the POA valves.

Ok, so I looked under the hood (Again)....

Brian - you are correct. My '65 GS has a 15-51 Type 1 POA valve.

I called Classic Auto Air and they have a rebuilt one in stock. I believe it was $130 + $50 core... It should be here on Thursday.

THANKS
