First off I'd like to say hi. I've been looking around the forum and it seems like a great site. Glad I found it.
Now to the nitty-gritty. I have a 1970 Swinger that I took the dash out about 3yrs ago. Just started putting it back together and the one piece I couldn't find was the steering shaft coupling. So I went to local auto wrecker(turners in Fresno Ca. Great place. Lots of good mopar parts.) and got a replacement one. Ordered rebuild kit and was attempting to install when I ran into problems.
Something seems to short. Did I get one for a manual? Mines power steering. Are they diffrent? Am I missing something? Is it because it's some sort of a split shaft? I have no clue. Please help lol
 

Fairly sure all couplers are the same. Are you using the same steering box? Manual and power steering boxes are different and require different lenght steering shafts. The only other thing that may have happen is you colapsed your "colapsable" steering shaft.
