What moron would spend $140 to put a 50 year old check valve on their car? Especially when the REPOPS are new,  correct and only 10 bucks!

You'll also notice that Chuck doesn't say it works. Just that it's "in nice original condition".

That is not an OE check valve, those are common as dirt and not even worth shipping, and I suspect he knows it to. It is called a fishing expedition.

Oops. I didn't even look closely at the valve itself, but yes, that's the 70's version!

Wow! As Mike said common as dirt as that is what they put in every booster you have restored, etc. And yes, he knows it!
This is a real correct one on our 68Z and what it should look like! Hopefully these pictures will assist someone's future purchase.

Thanks for your keen sense and great knowledge Darrell! Many would not have noticed. You are an asset to the hobby.

I just noticed I put the wrong link in my reply above. It SHOULDN'T be going to Classic Muscle, but to ZIP Corvette instead. Here's the CORRECT LINK (Their P/N DB-386), and a picture of the valve is below.

HOWEVER, note that I got this information from a thread on the NCRS site that's 3 years old, so I'm not sure if ZIP still sells that same valve (not only that, but the price has doubled since 2013). They don't show a picture of the front of it on their web site so I can't tell if it's the same one mentioned in the NCRS thread.

If anyone lives near ZIP, can you stop by and check it out?

Hey guys,
Just want to say no relation. (name), I think he has been banned from some forums. It is a shame not just this hobby but everywhere there are scam guys. Experience and this forum helps a lot.

Thanks to everyone who pointed out the differences in the check valves!   I had not noticed those differences previously, but after this thread, I went and looked at the 'new one' installed by Grigori when he rebuilt my booster, and compared it to my original (which Grigori returned to me), and of course, they are like the original (and replacements) as pointed out in this thread.

Should I remove the replacement and install the original valve in my rebuilt booster?  OR purchase a 'better repro' from somewhere to replace the incorrect one??

Kelley:  Some may have wondered if you were the 'King'... :)   so it is/was a good idea to clarify that!  :) :)
