Ok after 24hrs of frantic research here is what I have found with regard to Firebird ignition switch info.

1. 1969 - 197? share a common switch body for a tilt column
2. Pontiac uses a different ignition switch than that of a Camaro
3. A 69 dash wire harness plug fits both non-tilt and tilt columns
4. To utilize a tilt column, you have to have the specific Pontiac tilt column ignition switch.
