    Where to get a Rag Joint?
    Im converting from power steering to manual and need a rag joint. I went to the summit site and they sell them for $100. I did not call or look too much They may have cheaper ones. I have a 70 Skylark.
    Any alternatives that price seemed high?
    Thanks in advance Im having problems with my PC so I may not get back to you for awhile.

    I was told they are different. I have to get stuff apart and see. I'm trying to line up my ducks.

    I was able to use my power steering ragjoing on the manual steering box. Just tighten it up really good!

    Depending on the year, manual vs power boxes use different rag joints.
    The shaft diameter is either 3/4" or 13/16". Spline count varies too, so making the larger one smaller by tightening won't engage the splines correctly.
    Some late 70's- early 80's used the smaller shaft on PS cars, so you might find one in a junkyard.

    Repo suppliers like Ground Up
    www.ss396.com
    have several styles for 64-72, $50.
