Stupid Steering Coupler Question

[RustyRatRod]

64 Valiant manual steering. My coupler is the original NON roll pin type with the bolt and clamp that attaches it to the input shaft of the steering box. My question is, will the 3" long roll pin type coupler interchange? Thank you drive through.

no because the shaft dia is a different size on the power steering vs the manual steering and one type is used on power and the other type is used on manual

The later roll pin style coupler will work if you keep power to power and manual to manual

I used the later bucket on my 66. No problem

The length is a bit different, but, they should fit most stock applications.

This may be unwarranted, but I'd prefer a clamp-type. I just redid a bunch of steering linkage with multiple u-joints, and found a ton of my slop was due to loose clamps. The difference in play between snug and 15 ft-lbs was very significant.
Has me considering putting a similar clamp-type u-joint in my dart's steering column, in fact.
