Manual Rack Differences L-Body??

[finallall]

Anyone know the differences between the 84-87 L-Body manual rack and a pre 84 L-Body manual rack?

I need to change mine and am not sure which to get.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Alex.

Its the steering column coupler, there different for some stupid reason. Can't tell you the difference though.

Can you remove the coupler? I swapped out the connectors on a rack from a shadow with cast arms with the origional coupler that was on my 86' 600.

The splines are different on the rack, hence the different couplers. I have no idea why they did it.

the 2 couplers have different teeth. I will actually try and swap the shaft from my rack to the new one. My coupler is made for more teeth then the rack I bought. Otherwise they look the same.

Well that didn't work so I had to make the coupler fit (Hammer). O well it'll work but if I ever need another rack I'm going for a power rack.

Is that the ONLY difference, Is the coupler??
