Steering Coupler Rebuild "How To"

PCP71Demon said
Hey Guys, Great info and forum...Thankyou !
I bought a 71 Demon about 1.5 years ago and not sure what is going on, but I have 2 of those steering couplers welded end2end to make up the distance needed from the end of the steering column to the manual steering box.
  • Also end of steering column shaft has what looks like a 1/4" drill thru hole that seems to serve no purpose.
  • Could this have been a power steering car converted to manual steering using the power steering column ?
  • If so what is needed to correct this? I have about a 6" gap between end of steering shaft and spline on manual steering box.

Thanks, Mike

The steering shaft hole is for the pin that holds the shoes in coupler. Sounds like power steering to manual conversion was make on your car. There are companies that offer an extension for the shaft to steering gear.
