Default 1969 Camaro N44 Steering question.

1969 Camaro N44 quick ratio steering I've read came standard with Z-28 and SS cars and optional on other Camaros. Did the LM1 Camaro also come with N44 steering? All I've seen had it including mine, just wondered if it was part of the LM1 package or optional? Thanks.

At the risk of being a wet blanket, the LM1 350 was not a performance engine. It was a low-compression 2 bolt main 350 with a 4-barrel carb. Built with single exhaust unless N10 was ordered. Not rare either; 10,406 built in the 4 months of availability. It was odd in that it required an optional transmission; the MC1 HD 3-speed was the cheapest at $79 and was dropped as an option at the same time as the LM1. Some LM1s had 12 bolt axles and a few had Muncie 4-speeds.

Standard equipment was manual steering and manual drum brakes. If the cars you have seen had power steering it was standard, variable-ratio. N44 would have to have been ordered. Since only 672 drum brake cars were built with N44, few were built with it.

btw, most all LM1's had 12 bolts and all 4-speed cars had Muncies.
