Yes that’s the one. You will have to cut the steering shaft and then put the U-joint on and then drill the shaft all the way through then either pin it or stick a grade 8 bolts through it.
We just put a new U-joint on Dad’s 65 Dodge, we went with the smaller U-joint because it's about half the money and less than half the weight. (We’re racing the car only) The smaller U-joints will have to be welded on the shaft.
If you're running the car on the street then I would probably go with the 1506M because it is heavier.

I went for the "bling"! There are many cheaper ones but they don't seem as stout:munky2:

Nice setup, but is there a lot of vibration transmitted up to the steering wheel?

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

If you have excessive vibration,there's a problem elsewhere.The engine is solid mounted also.

hi,

i have to drill the Flaming coupler as well where the pin has to go in, right?
Cause the hole wich is in the coupler dosen`t go through.
thanks

Yes the 1506 has to be drilled and uses a roll pin. They hole only goes through half of it so you can drill through the other half. Other wise you will play hell trying to hit the hole on the other side.

I was able to drill mine after installing & aligning.That way your roll pin slides in nice.
