They both use the coupler & the rag joint. The difference in the 73 and 74 is the location of the rag joint. In 74 it was near the firewall in 73 it was at the steering box.

The coupler is supposed to fix alignment problems with the steering box and the rag joint flexes with the K frame since it is on rubber biscuits. Or so they say.

Just an FYI.



Not just the location and shaft flex system ( diff coupling system all around ) BUT also the kind of rag joint. While 73 uses the big one "hockey puck" with metalic insert allmost 1" thick,

74s use the thin one basic piece allmost universal which most of cars use, a "basic" rubber disc maybe 1/4"-1/3" thick
