The question now is if anyone can tell me if the rag joint has to be replaced. I have loosened the 2 bolts to be able to separate it from the steering column.

Where can I get a steering coupler for the gear box part number 5691676? Called a place with obsolete parts and was told that they hadn't carried the part since 1997. Need this part for my husband's '67 Camaro restoration. Thanks! Kristi
