Another manual steering box

My Firebird came originally with a manual box . The box has 4 threaded mounting lugs but Pontiac only used 3 bolts to hold it in . Never heard of a box that is only held in by 2 bolts , that's weird . The A body box is the same , but has a different pitman arm .

oh.....crap. Working at night to keep outa the big heat caused me a slip up. Just went out and looked and found the missing hole..... in my brain. Single hole by itself on top. Well, good. That's one thing out of the way

Now I need the coupler shaft, from the steering column to the gear box.
