The GM Shop Manual confirms it, but is still vague about which hole the power steering knuckles should be in.
Forward = Inner = Not at the End = Fast ratio
Rear = Outer = End = Slow ratio
You have yours in the fast ratio holes. Has it been that way for 56 years? I can't say, but that's the way it is now. Is it possible your car came with power steering?
So then the latter years with power were all in the fast steering holes? Or are they the normal holes ether way they are the ones closest to the center of the spindle

curious if anyone has a manual steering car with the tie rods located in the outer locations. also id like to know what type/size of reamer I would need to drill new holes.

I am not sure, but I don't believe they are just holes, I think they are tapered......I could be wrong. Maybe someone else knows.

The holes are absolutely tapered.
Since you'd likely have to take them off the car anyway, perhaps it would be easier to find a set of 2-hole steering arms on eBay?
Here's but one example, $75- https://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-1982-C...QAAOSwZ41eh7Ui
