Steering Coupler/Spring Clip

[mopowers]

I'm looking for a pre-66 steering coupler spring clip as shown below (the one on the left)

I bought a rebuild kit for mine and realized the coupler I have will not work with the large 'bump' that the newer style clip has.

If no one happens to have this clip, do any of you have a manual steering 66 and up empty coupler pot?? These ones have a radius on each side to allow for the larger spring clip, while the earlier ones are flat.

is that where the steering colum connects to box I'm confused I am parting out a 64/65 barracuda its a manual box

Yes, the clip is contained inside the coupler. I have all the parts I need, except this spring clip

Anyone know where I can get this spring?

I just looked through my parts ( went out to give the dog her morning goodie anyway ). No luck. With so many changing their box coupling to a universal joint, I'm sure somebody has what you need. Hang in there.

Thanks for looking! I appreciate it. I know I'll find one eventually. In the meantime, I'm going to pilfer the one off my 66 project car. Kinda like sweeping dirt under a rug... Eventually I'll need one for that car. :banghead:

Anyone have one of these???

I just took apart the coupler pot off a '65 coronet and there is no spring clip in mine.

That's interesting! How'd it steer without it?

It steered fine. The parts inside the pot fit with no slop. If you want send, your e-mail and I'll send pics.
