Looking to buy the right steering column & coupler rebuild kit

[67DodgeDart360]

Hi, I own a 67 Dodge Dart. I’m looking to rebuild my manual steering column. What kit should I purchase? How can you tell if this kit is for manual steering column? Here is a link that I was thinking about buying. Mopar A B E Body 66-73 Steering Column & Coupler Rebuild Kit

That sounds high price wise.

Apples and oranges.
The first one is a coupler kit with the retaining clamp, and column bearing and isolator.
Second one is just the coupler kit.
First one should get you through the majority of a column rebuild, minus some small parts you may need from the hardware store.

Manual and power columns use the same rebuild parts, the length of the column is the difference. Coupler housing is different, but guts are the same.

"This fits all 67-73 A body, 66-73 B Body and 70-73 E Body that used the 3" long (overall length) power AND manual steering couplers."

Yup. Guts are the same, but the housings aren't.

This is what I have. Does anyone know how to take this apart? Thanks

yes, but you're better off reading about it and having the information in front of you
MyMopar - Mopar Forums & Information - Service Manuals

even better, go buy an FSM (Factory Service Manual)

Thanks I didn’t see how to take off the steering Coupler. I took the pin out but it’s still stuck. I soaked it with Liquid wrench because it was rusted.

I just went thru this on a seized one, ended up putting some thin pieces of wood on the steering box, and used a pneumatic air hammer with a pickle fork attachment to remove it.
I got the pneumatic pickle forks from Amazon.

Here is a link for the pneumatic pickle forks, they fit a common air chisel.

Great I’ll try that. So there isn’t anything else holding it from coming off right? Other then the pin. Thanks
