Ref. my 59; I need the fat heavy rubber bushing that mount the ram to
the linkage. My system does not leak. Therefore don't try to fix it.
Who carries those gems?

Not too sharp on my part. It's impossible to find the parts in the MACS catalog if the catalog is in the trunk of the Galaxie in the garage.
All of the bushings etc are on order.......Cheap too.

john the ram seal and control valve seals are snap , says old edsel dealer friend of mine (Colbert duggins ) , he says get the freshes seals you can find (orings LLC ) and soak them in Dot 3 brake Fluid for 20 min . longer is not better . install still wet .
the dot 3 corrosive is a release agent to chew off 1/2 a , millionth thousandth from the seal and allow it to expand To FILL the chamber it set in .
the first oil poured in should be "durralube engine treatment " use half bottle . let it set a half hour then top off with type A trans juice .
this works . and works over and over again .
With stop pin turned in 1/2 turn after contact of ball stud . and your on your way.
