Thank you!

Manual box was the same as a standard non fast ratio, the pitman arm was 1/2" longer for the Z-28, from 5.25 to 5.75 inches. This should make your box search easier.

What's the casting number on the gear supposed to be? I have a 5679142 with a date of A1759 if that's what you're looking for.

I will double check but it sounds to me like the correct casting number and if I am decoding the date correctly it would be the 175th day of 1969 which was June 23rd. That would be perfect for my 07A car. Can someone please confirm if I have decoded this correctly? If it is correct for my car I will PM you for a price. I do have a correct Z/28 pitman arm that I've had for years so this would fix me up.
Thank you!

Yes, please check your date. I will be doing a concourse restoration on my 69 Z, so I am interested. Thank you!
