The steering shaft coupler on my 70 Charger is very loose and I have tried to tap it back on but it will not go.
Does anyone know where I can get one of those steering shaft coupler clamps ?
I know the mopar4sale website has them but this business does not have a ph# even.
Anyone ever purchase one from them? Or know where to get one?

You can still buy these from your local Dodge dealer. It's the same part number as the one for a 79 Dodge 4x4 pick-up

Buy a whole rebuilding kit and rebuild it while your in there.     Its like $15 at the dealer.

Also this guy sells a clip to retain the clamp....

Check out the TSB while on his site on the upper left corner of the page.

And if you aren't worried about concours perfect, while it's apart for the rebuild you can drill and tap for a grease zerk.  I did that with mine so I can lube it up every now and again.

are those steering shaft coupler clamps factory issue? I have just bought the rebuild kit and probably need the clamp too? The plastic lugs in the steering column must have broken because I can push the shaft in by hand...will the clamp prevent the shaft from sliding out of the coupling or is the end cover good enough for this?

the small knurled pin in the pic above retains the shoes in the coupler so the shoes cannot slide out of the coupler , the "clamp" for the rubber seal is not enough to hold it in

The clamps were factory issue but if I am right, they were brought out as part of a TSB campaign.  It wasn't an actual recall but if you came in with the problem it was the officially endorsed fix.
