I started preparing the steering shaft.
I need ideas for the rag joint... what to do? The material is ripped so maybe I need a repop? Ryan

Get a good used rag joint OR check on repros.
Be aware that a power steering Abody rag joint is different VS a manual steering joint..different diameter splined hole. I'm not sure if manual box rag joints are repro'd or not but know there are plenty of repros available for power steering. There will likely be some small differences in the "look" of the repro so don't expect an EXACT REPLICA. On the rubber grease boot on the steering column end of the shaft....clean it well and see how it looks. If it's not torn or all cracked just leave it in place and it should be fine. New boots are available repro but that old rubber survives fairly well.
