Well you can e mail them and ask..
The o/p asked for a lock, I posted an option..
I don't see any listing from you? if you have a better one post it up.

Chill. That wasn't an attack on your manhood, merely a comment on all the vendors who do sloppy work when creating their catalogs and application lists (like "headers don't fit Supremes").

As for listings from me, here's a hint: Type gm steering column lock collar into Google. Bunches come up, including a lot on ebay. Prices seem to rage from the $70s on up.

And unless someone emails them to let them know of the fact that it'll work on a 69, they'll never know.. I'm sure they love to have the listing open up another group of buyers..
I don't know if it fits a 69. So I shouldn't email them but if you are sure , you should..
That was my point.. I didn't take it as an attack.

I've wasted far too much time already tilting at those windmills. These companies just don't want to hear it. I've contacted several header manufacturers, RockAuto, Advance Auto, KYB shocks, and others. All I've ever gotten back was either a "we'll look into it" email or a form letter that pretty much says "thanks, but we know more than you do." Nothing has ever come out of any of those. KYB, for example, still incorrectly lists the shocks for the 65-70 full size as being the same as for an A-body. I sent them photos of the 1/2" discrepancy in the mounting bolt locations. Nada.
