1969 dodge dart with headers not sure what exactly I need to connect my steering rod to the power steering pump and miss the headers? U joint maybe?
I think this post needs a review for a proper response. I’m not sure what a steering rod is. Is it possible you are talking about a steering BOX and a steering column shaft? That is a common interference when installing headers.1969 dodge dart with headers not sure what exactly I need to connect my steering rod to the power steering pump and miss the headers?

Yes it is a stock shaft and I need to hook up to the gear box .but the header is interferingAre you using a stock steering shaft, coupler, and gearbox now? Is is power or manual steering?
I will check that out , thanksCan you dent the header in order to gain clearance?
On my 66 Barracuda, my steering shaft goes "through" the headers. Steering shaft has come out to get headers on and off!!
How much smaller do you think tht one is than the factory coupler? That looks like a dandy.Hey Jesse I had the same problem with my 68 Barracuda when the headers went on, the stock coupler hit the headers. You do not have to dent in your headers, there was no way I was going to do that. I did have to shorten the bottom of my steering column shaft a little bit after I removed the stock coupler but now no interference with the headers. At first I was told to use a Flaming River FR1506P which did not work, after spending some time with the Flaming River tech we figured out the best coupler for my car was the FR1757 and it worked out great. Look at the pictures and if you need any more just let me know.
