id call borgeson see if they make an adaptor, but the ps shaft is shorter so you will prob need to find a ms shaft and then modify it to a borgeson joint...I dont know of a way to eliminate the coupler and go to a better unit without making that shaft longer...

I am switching from factory power steering..to factory manual gear box. What would be the best coupler to use for this modification? I definately want to eliminate the factory "rag joint"! Thanks for the suggestions in advance! Randy B.

Yeah, I thought that there must be some way to provide a bit of "give". That's why driveshafts have slip yokes and universals. I might be a bit concerned with the set screw missing though.

The drive shaft has a slip yoke because it needs to move rearward as the suspension drops.
A steering column does not have the problem but it needs to slip a little during installation and a tiny bit with chassis flex. Cars with rubber isolated K frames or body on frame assemblies need slip in the steering shaft to allow for body flex.
