Looking for a 4-speed or 5 for my 69’ 521

I have a 69’ 521 and I’m looking to get a manual tranny to replace the automatic that I have in it now. What would be the best to use? I pulled the stock 1.6 out of her and put a L20B from a 610. So my question is what would be the best manual tranny to put in her?

You may have the year or truck model wrong. If it has an L series engine then it's a '70 or newer. If the build date is after July '69, then it's a 70 model year, '69s were J13. Also none of the L521 or PL521s came with an automatic. Someone, perhaps you? may have done some shuffling of parts on this. Did the 610 engine come with an automatic on it then?

If the build date is between June to December '69 it would be a '70 model year with a PL521 designation and the L16 engine. It may have been built in '69 but really it's a '70.
