Default Borgeson universal steering U-joint-advice

I'm going to change my old steering coupler,and I'm tihnking about to install the Borgeson universal steering U-joint.

About your experience is better than the original?I nedd some sod to install? cut or somethingelse?
Or the best think is replace the old one to the standard coupler?
The car is an '81.
If I decide to install the borgeson how is the right size?How many spline I have?
Any advice are appreciate !!!

Have a nice W.E

Here are the reasons that General Motors always used a flexible coupling rather than a single cardon joint to connect the steering column directly to the steering gear.
