What's this block?
My google fu is drunk..

swapping out the steering unit and the new one didn't come with that block.
It's bolted on.. do I need it?

Curious... what's different between an "orbital" valve and an "orbitrol" valve?

I've always call steering control valves an orbitrol valve... am I wrong? Have even heard them called Char-Lynn or Danfoss valves before.

Same shit, different level of dyslexia?

Europians say orbitrol. USAnians tend to say orbital.

Danfoss is a manufacturer.

Orbitrol is a branded thing IIRC. Like calling every copier a xerox.
Orbital is generic for orbital (as in, rotary) control valve, industry typically uses "steering control valve" or "SCU" (steering control unit).
Most will figure out quickly what you're talking about any which way.
Many manufacturers make them, Char-lynn, Danfoss, M+S, Parker, and others.

It seems to be a check valve and has test ports from what I can see on the web. I think it could be useful for checking pressures if nothing else.
