J & S,

you can easily find a direct bolt on, original fit for 69 Camaro. During the 60's many Chevrolet models were equipped with manual steering and the interchangeability is wide.

The S-10 box if slightly larger and slightly heavier than the correct box for your 69.

The Vega box is not a direct replacement and not a good choice for the weight of a 69 Camaro.

Look on eBay and racing junk. In addition, a number of vendors offer rebuilt factory boxes. Surfing the web will show plenty of options.

I have a Vega box in my car. Gives a bit more room for headers. There is a pitman arm available for the Vega box in a gen 1 Camaro. I fabricated mine.

If you need a manual box, I've got one that's in nice shape.

If you'll spring for the shipping, I'll contribute it to your project. -Al
