I believe there are only two types of manual boxes-small and large sector.If it's a small sector I would think it should work.

Interchange on power or nonpower steering boxes is '62-'72 A- and B-body. The '73-'76 A-body steering boxes interchange with all '73-up RWD Mopar passenger cars. Difference is small (early) vs. large (late) output/pitman shaft spline.

C-Bodies also came with the large sector box. Not that you see many manual steering C-Bodies.
All of the A-body manual boxes are "small" sector & interchange.
If you use a B-body/Truck/Van manual steering box that has a "large" sector...then you will need a 73 & up power steering pitman arm for an A-body. But don't use a "B" body manual box if you have headers.
A large sector box will bolt up & work just fine but the top of the box is built different. Most headers won't clear the box on the top by about 3/8" & on the bottom by a 1/4".

Some early A boxes have smaller bolt holes, which would need to be drilled out to fit a later manual or PS car.
