68 Dodge Coronet Rebuild - 02/28/2021

[D Jay Hopkins]

Good afternoon - I am aware that '68 426 Hemi's are rare as frogs hair but does any one have any leads that are affordable? I have a factory power steering Coronet. I was able to source a 16:1 manual steering box but not certain that the shaft of the new manual box will mate to the existing power steering column end condition. Do I need to purchase an adapter? Any help is greatly appreciated - Jay

I believe the PS shaft is shorter then one for a manual steering. columns are the same but different shafts.

Is it not Bergman that makes the PS to Manual column adapter that is splined and just slips in place to lengthen the shaft? I know someone makes one..

Thank you much for the help. Found the attached adapter at Feel Firm Suspensions.

Good, I was pretty sure someone had it.
