    I suggest you rebuild the stock coupler, it's well designed & has done it's job on millions of cars for billions of miles... :2cents:

    you can by a coupler re build kit on line thru E Bay.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Mopar-Dodge-Plymouth-Steering-Coupler-Kit-A-B-E-Body-/251989104309?hash=item3aabb896b5&vxp=mtr#ht_100wt_662

    You'll need two big C clamps is the way I found how to compress the seal tight to tang the edges over.



    The manual steering coupler housing is slightly shorter than the power steering coupler but it can be used if the steering shaft is pulled out slightly a little more.

    I just typed up a full explanation, 12 steps & photos... Then posted it... Only to have it lost in the black hole....  If I feel motivated I may type it again later...
