DON'T GET THE ROCK AUTO ONE ! i bought one and the coupler broke installing it .
I ended up with an autozone universal for like $10.00 worked great .
if you find an NOS one you have to consider that you are installing a 40+ yearold part made of rubber , I'd rather get a new universal one .

I called rock auto and they gave me a credit with no questions asked , so am thinking they know the coupling is junk .
go to autozone get the large rag joint kit and use old coupling .

Rag joint
I just rebuilt mine. I used the help part #3100 at Autozone. I bought two of them because each package only comes with one stud that slides in between the steering shaft. You have to cut/grind the old studs of the old rag to use the coupling. I also used the orginal bolts from the old rag bolts. I just did not like the new hardware that came in the new package. The big stud bolts and the rubber is all I used. Looks good and I should not have to worry about it againg for some time. I guess I will Keep the other rubber disk.Probably should just toss it. Hardest thing was grinding the old studs off and that was not that bad. Lot cheaper than buying on from a lot of the places I looked at. I think I got $20.00 invested. Good luck
