Default To Tilt Or Not To Tilt. That is the question....

OK. I searched and I didn't see any positive answers for this question. I have a 90GT (no tilt steering) is it possible to swap this out with one of the old foxes that did have the tilt wheel? If so what all has to be done? Thanks!

swapping the column should be as easy as any other bolt in project.

you will, however, have a flashing air bag light, unless you remove the airbag diagnostic module in the dash.
little blue box, a bit smaller than a radio, located behind/above the heater controls

there is a possibility of running into a wiring problem, with mismatched harnesses.

if that should become the case, post another thread. more than a few of us have access to AllData and whatnot, and we can give you the info you need.

Everything from the later steering shaft will bolt onto the older steering shaft. No need to worry about wiring, just have to swap the multifunction switch and everything.
