1969 Camaro Z28 shifter knob or ball options

[Stingr69]

I know they never came with a jam nut BUT...
Chevrolet discontinued the Chrome Ball very early as I tried to get one in the early '80's and they were already discontinued by then.  The last iteration they sold was a crappy black plastic version smaller than the original and they looked like they belonged on a kids toy.  The repro looks pretty  good but the threads are no way as good as GM.  You need the lock nut just to keep it screwed on.

Just throwing this out there, what about a drop of Locktite, ?

 Or a piece of masking tape wrapped around the thread.

Or silicone, etc.

Teflon tape or Teflon Plumber's thread compound for pipe threads would work as well I would imagine..

Blue yes.  Red no.

Buy a 68 version and tap it out to the 69's 3/8 thread.  A good sharp tap will make it fit nice.
