Need help getting a u-joint for my steering

This is my pump. It has a flat spot and the spline count is 30 with two half splines on either side of the flat area. Its 3/4". I orderd a 3/4 DD X 3/4 - 30. But it's too small.

It is probably 3/4 with 36 spline - check my reply in this thread out.

So my pump is not abnormal with the flat spot? Who to call to get someone who knows these parts to help me? Thanks.

Re: Need help getting a u-joint for my steering

When you count the splines you need to include the flat spot. I used Borgeson http://www.borgeson.com/
It's been several years so I can't remember but I think YJ is correct 36 spline.
After 72 pretty sure GM changed the gearbox...might be 74 again I can't remember

The spline size on the steering box is 13/16 36 spline or at least mine was. Here is a link to a chart with sizes http://www.flamingriver.com/p_view_i..._Tech_Tips.gif
