Title: 69 Z power steering boxes
Post by: mgerg11 on February 13, 2024, 03:31:50 PM

Why do some power steering boxes have 3 ears verses 4 ears for mounting to the frame?  Is there one that is only correct for a 69 Z or is both acceptable?  Thanks!

I saw that but it doesn’t clarify for power steering boxes.

According to this article in Hemmings, the power steering boxes used in 1969 Camaros used 4 bolts:

The table at the end was poorly constructed. It says 3-hole, which is also my recollection.
