 @bc3j  I like to try the least abrasive to start. if it laugh's at it, then go courser.   :alan2cents:

Well I would call & ask assuming they are there
I know there are different diameters depending on manual or power steering
They will have the experience to help you & measure your diameter before calling them
I hope it is the $70 one , the other is stupid expensive  :Thud:

OK so witch one 3 inch or 3 1/2 inch one ?

Can you measure what you have now to see? The one in my car measures 3 1/2 if that helps? 1970 Challenger

My '70 RT 383 with power steering is 3". I thought 3.5" was for manual.

Well she's on, thanks to a crowbar and piece of wood , the big problem I had was finding the master spline on the coupler. The coupler is 3 inch. Still don't know why 2 different lengths, I think I read somewhere the manual box has a larger diameter gear. Anyhow thanks to everyone's help and guidance with this.

Manual steering input shaft is bigger so that's why the coupler is different.

:wave: Just trying to learn.....    Ok so the spline bore/diameter if you will is bigger on a manual car.
Ok I got that but why the 2 different lengths of couplers? Mine is 3 1/2" and bc3j has a 3"
Is it a Cuda vs Challenger thing?  :notsure:

Also both the links from Roseville say for power steering but have different lengths?

 :thinking:  mine originally was a column shift and I converted it to a floor shift. Bought a used column etc.... so mine might not be " correct "  but it all works ok? I'n pretty sure my current column is not correct for a 70 but a later one as it doesn't have the lever to remove key thing.
  Just throwing that info out there if it helps solve the " why 2 different lengths " thing?

Is it a truck verses car thing? I have 2 power steering and 1 manual steering couplers all 3" long

Yes: I think it may be a truck thing. They used those couplers into the 80's I believe but I don't have one here to look at.
