I will never ever use any Chevy parts in anything I would own. Opinions aside Chevy is not known for anything reliable, just cheap due to availability. For example ever owned an S-10? People go for them because that's what they know. and overall cheaper to build. it doesn't make them better. Other people love them, i have 40 plus years working on cars, ASE certs and 15 years as a automotive sales parts manager that proves otherwise. You can argue the merits of their products all day long, experiences and opinions differ They used what was available at the time, and cheapest for them. The box was built, heater core was provided, so probably a Chevette as well. They used their column because it had a tilt function, weirdly not many other cars at the time did. Not saying you can't get something to work like control cables. I have a complete I would rather use a modern unit without cables, a cleaner install. Odds are someone probably would never have a problem with it, not the kind of build I am doing.
