Mine wasn't rebuildable and Chevy Duty, American Classic, etc. require a rebuildable core. I've chased a few on Ebay but so far haven't grabbed one yet. I'd like to keep the original setup rather than just stick a shut-off valve in the line. Thanks | | |

My capilary tube was ok but the unit overall was in pretty bad shape. I suspect that most place that rebuild them need one in good enough shape to just take apart clean up and put back together with a new seal. Mine wasn't that good. I'll put an ad in Swap Meet. Thanks. | | |
