Mopar steering coupler info

Difference between manual and power steering couplers, all years
The only difference between a manual steering and power steering box coupler is the size of the splined hole. Manual steering coupler splined hole is approx .700" in dia. Power steering coupler splined hole is approx .600" in dia The length does NOT have anything to do with wether its for manual or power steering.

There were basically 4 different style steering column couplers for 62-93 vehicles. 

62-65 A & B body coupler has a split collar with a bolt to connect to splined shaft on steering box
There are no rebuild kits made specifically for these couplers. The newer 67-76 rebuild kits available from Mopar can be used except for the spring steel clip that helps spread the shoes inside the coupler. That piece is different between the early and late couplers.
