Rag joint/steering coupler help
 
We need an NOS Rag Joint. Seen several on e-Bay. Not sure of which part number is correct. Looking for one for power steering car. A part number or link would help. The replica part we have does not look correct.

HELP.....still trying to shake down the correct number for an NOS joint. Car has power steering. The one removed from the car has a wire terminal attached to it. I see some on e-Bay for Camaros & Corvettes, but before I order an NOS one, I want to be sure. Thanks!!

O`Reilly and Autozone sells these...repros ,for $5.00-8.00

try Ames, if you REALLY want a NOS...they sell for $69.00 in my old catalog...
part no. FS 201
1967-76 Steering column coupling w/ power steering (GM)

Bjorn´s right, it´s still available at Ames for USD 69.00 (and in stock).

Not sure if this link works:

Link works, thanks.The Ames one would probably work. It looks a bit off the way it's finished. Some of the items we've purchased from them have not been exact, thus I prefer NOS parts for this car. I would like to buy one of the ones listed on e-Bay. Still looking to get a GM part # from one of you guys, if possible. Thanks.

the Ames part is supposedly GM...thats how they advertise it...they usually dont advertise it as such if its not...

69TA/RAIII 05-23-2008 02:29 PM

IF ....I would have read the complete text, I now see it says NOT the actual part depicted. I'll call Ames, thanks.

Ames´ reply (have sent an inquiery because of other parts, too):

Quote:

I want to clarify the coupling before sending out this order. FS201 is not made by GM but by a different manufacturer for GM. The box has the GM part number on it but the part doesn't.

AH-HA! Still need a GM number then. Anyone.... We have ordered a lot of parts from Ames, and many have been close, BUT not exact GM parts. This one is highly visable when judging, so only an NOS one will do.

have you tried dealerships??
