A phone call to Hooker revealed they were designed to work with the manual steering box. I remembered seeing a "for sale" 3x5 card at Shisler Speed Shop on Main St Souderton.
I went back there and sure enough, the dust covered card was still there. I gave the guy a call and he still had the manual steering box. I drove over to his house ( Ridge Rd above Sellersville ) and we went to garage.
He opened the garage door and there sat a mint 69 Z/28  Very nonchalantly I asked if the steering box came out of the "Camaro". He said he put power steering in it so his GF could drive it.
I purchased the quick ratio steering box, an almost new ACCEL electronic distributor and a pair of header mufflers for $50 ( his asking price )

Nice score back in the day before computers. I remember ripping off lots of phone number tabs but didn't come up with the funds to be able to make the call.
