Rag joint help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am installing a CPP 50014 power steering box on my 72 c20 that originally had manual steering. I ordered a original rag joint that would of fit a 72 with factory power steering. The rag joint seems too big. I tightened the part that goes onto the steering box splines as tight as I can get it with hand tools and it's still too big. It doesn't even grab onto the CPP shaft. It just falls off.

Anyone know what rag joint I need for the CPP box?

Also, on rag joints in general are they just hand tightened on the spline shaft or are you supposed to use power tools and is that maybe why it seems too big because I need to really bare down on it to make it tight on the shaft?
