Best source for rag joints?
Here's the reply I got from GM Parts Direct, inquiring about availability of any sort of replacement steering coupler (rag joint) for a 1979 Corvette:
Hi Chuck,
I am sorry, the part number you requested has been discontinued and is no longer available from GM. You will have to find an aftermarket source for this part.
Thank you,

So..... anyone know which aftermarket suppliers currently carry the *right* part? Not an upside-down version or simple repair kit?
The ones I see appear to have the steering shaft index 180* off.
Thanks!

I just bought and installed one for my 65 from Paragon. It's reasonably correct and fit fine. They should have one for your car. GM Parts only cater to newer cars.
