Y96 (621) suspension option on a 69 GTO was only stiffer shocks and springs. Any 69 GTO ordered with power steering used N40 non variable power steering. GTO's were supposed to have received a 15 to one ratio version versus all other A bodies (Tempest-LeMans) getting the typical 17.5 to one ratio. I never stopped to look in a parts book to see if this actually happened. The N40 on a GTO was billed at $105.32 versus Tempest LeMans at $100.05.
All fullsize, Firebirds and Grand Prix had N41 variable ration steering as the only power steering option.
