Adam, I took the upper part of the power steering coupler and got a coupler from Borgeson with the correct spline count and put them together. Just like replacing a u-joint.
I currently have it in my car and it works like it was made to go in it.

Thanks for the info mike. Thats the exact same thing i did on my spirit. Was just seeing if any had one to make my life easier. Do you no what the spline count is on a manual L-body rack. I still have the other half of the borgeson joint I took a part for the spirit. I think that was a 17 spline.
I think it's a 9/16-16.
I actually just bought a manual L-Body rack. But, seeing as I don't actually have an L-Body, I don't know what I'm going to do with it. It was just too good a deal to pass up. I don't even have it in my hands yet, but if you want it, make me an offer. It doesn't have a coupler, though.
Pics of the one I have...
It's a 9/16 26 spline. It's the same spline as the manual rack I put in my Daytona. And, the same spline as the Pinto racks. So getting a u-joint from Borgesson should be no problem...
I was looking at the flaming river unit.....oops. The omni manual rack is 9/16" x 17 spline. The manual rack I used in mine is the 17 spline unit. You may have to call them to get it. It wasn't in the catalog a couple years ago, so I called them and found out they make one in that size/spline. SO order the coupler with 2 of this size and you have 2 of them. That is if you go this route.
Rob, hopefully it is an actual L-body rack and not a large car rack that they listed as fitting an L-body. Either that or they used a different pinion shaft in yours.

If it's a large car rack, then that's fine. I could use a spare anyway. The large car manual racks are even harder to find...
My rack measures about 23" from inner tie rod end to end.
Yeah the manual rack thats in my spirit is 9/16"-17. I just found the other half of the borgesson joint i used on the spirit. So if I find a rack I should have the coupler covered.
Was finally able to crawl under the Daytona to measure the rack...
The Daytona rack mounts are 13" bolt to bolt; on this rack, 13" from the bolts is into the boot on the other end. So, it's about 1" shorter than the Daytona rack - which seems to make it the right size for an L-Body.
I have the manual rack out of an 84 omni. I should have the coupler also. Shoot me a PM/offer if you want it.
