Hey Guys I have been at a stand still for a while but I'm thankful to be back at it again.. Well today I got my engine and trans dropped in..
Still have alot to hook-up, but I also received today my Bowtie Overdrive Package for my Carburater bracket and Spring for the tv valve so when I drop the pan for that I'll also wire the tcc lock-up...

I used DD shaft and rag joints to mate my tilt column to the rag, and added a support joint.

iirc the rag end is from the 72 we got the steering pump from

gulfcoast66 · 08-13-2013, 08:36 PM

Br3w do you have anymore pics of how you connected the two together???

This is what I offer to connect the original steering column shaft to the rag joint.

3/4 DD shaft is a standard size, which 99% of the aftermarket stuff fits. Keep in mind, I hooked up to a tilt column, which started with its own DD shaft stub.
You can page through my build if Photobucket decides not to be a terrorist today.

Because of the angle and combo of parts, I go
Tilt column (3/4 DD) -> DD Universal Joint-> DD shaft-> DD U joint + support -> 72 rag joint stub into steering gear.

The support joint is a special oversized heim joint from AllStar. I have a short video on the bracket fab and installation being edited now and should be out soon.
