will the tilt steering column hook up to all the electric components of a non-tilt steering column?

yes the only diff. in a non tilt and a tilt is that the tilt tilts

you have to transfer the combination switch and i remember having to splice something ..possibly the horn connections didnt match up no big deal

Im about to do a reverse swap Im putting a non-tilt in place of my tilt because the tilt mechanism disentigrated on me while driving and scared the everliving **** out of me. I was told it would match up though.

But it depends....Are you taking a Air bag column out(90-93) and putting in a 87-89 column? or are you replacing a non-tilt 87-89 column with a tilt?

not sure what yr im getting one from yet. just wanted to make sure i could switch them. mine is a 92 non-tilt

also forgot to mention you will need the 87-89 column shroud .. i havent had any problems with mine .. but i used a practically brand new completely remanufactured oem column .. it was expensive but worth it .. heres a pic of how it will look

other than a junkyard this is the only place where i could find a column and i would not recommend using a junkyard column as im sure you read the previous post lol

how bout one out of a 98 would that possibly work or are they completly different?

Probably completely different. I'm currently swapping my '91 to an '89 tilt column. I'm not done yet (doing alarm wiring and other things at the same time), but so far the only difference I've seen is the horn wire. I'm swapping all of my '91 electronics on to the other column and it looks like they should all bolt up fine.
