1969 camaro gearbox dates

[4myz]

I  have a gear box off a 69 camaro with a cast date of 69 and a stamp of 084 9 could someone explain this to me ??

By gear box, do you mean trans or steering?

With those type of codes, I would guess steering box.  They are Julian date coded.  69 meaning the 69th day of the year, same as 084 meaning the 84th day of the year, with the 9 meaning 69.

So it would be March 69

manual or power steering?
