First, disconnect your battery, now, if you open the hood, you will find a flexible couplig about half way to the bottom of the column, you can unbolt that, then, sitting inside the car, under the dash you will find a U shaped brace fastenig the column to the underside of the dash, (it usually has 2 bolts, but depending on the model may have 4), then you must detach the wirng plug (for the turnlights and horn, it is close to the U shaped brace). then remove the two screws in the back of the steering wheel which hold the sterering wheel padding, once removed, there is a circular sliding switch which activates the horn at the center of the wheel, be sure to detach the wire fastened to the steering wheel which comes through the steering column.

Go to the library and get a chiltons repair manual for your year, it will be the same column as the regular chevelle.
A schematic for a 1969 Dodge steering column can be found in an automotive repair manual. Chilton is a popular manufacturer of this type of manual.
if it's on the sterring column you have to remove the steering wheel with a puller. Remove the turn signal plate and there is a pin or bolt holding the lock cyl that has to be pushed or removed. There is another tool required to compress the spring when reinstalling the sterring wheel. most auto parts have the cylinders and tools.

The first Column ignitions switch was introduced on GM cars in 1968 for the 1969 Model year...Ford and Chrysler introduced it in 1969 for the 1970 model year..
Probably at the driver's side firewall next to the steering column It hangs under the dashboard to the right of the steering column parallel to the floorboard. It uses cylindrical glass fuses like most vehicles of the era.
it will fit but you will need to drill out an ignition switch hole unless you also transfer over the 69 steering column.
It was an option back then....so yes. Simply put, find the correct power steering gear box, lines, brackets and pump. Install and enjoy.
pry it up off of the motor splines to take it off.
The switch is located on top of the steering column. It's rod actuated. Remove the negative battery cable. Remove the screws that mount the column to the firewall and the two bolts that hold it up to the dashboard. Two screws mount it to the column. Remember, it's rod actuated, so you'll need to make sure the rod is properly mated with the new switch, and make sure it's properly adjusted. The mounting screws are also the adjustment screws because the mounting holes are elongated to allow for adjustment.
You can convert manual to power steering on a 1969 Camaro. the steering box will need to be changed, and a pump and brackets as well as fluid lines will need to be added.
