IIRC, '73-up B-bodies are different. Did this carry over to the E-bodies as well? Tim '71 Charger 383/727 '17 Challenger SXT (Wifeys car )

He'll need the adapter/extension, like Mancini sells, when using a power steering shaft with a manual box because the steering shaft length is different. The Cuda shaft will be too long to use with the power steering box!
