4th Gen Seats Question???

Hey I was thinking of putting fourth gen seats from a 95 Camaro into my 85 Camaro.
But the drivers side seat is power operated on the 95 and my 85's are manual. Is there any way to make the power seat work in my car? Any help would be helpfull.

Thanks

Run a power wire to the seat.

When I installed the 6 way power adjuster in my 87, I had to snag a power wire from the car that I got my seat from.

to get one, remove the left kick panel, and the trim piece that covers the edge of the carpet under the door. once the seat has been removed, and you have permission to do so, take a rasor blade and cut the carpet of the doner car along the front floor reinforcement.

Remove the ground screw, and un-run the wire that goes through the loom. Take a screwdriver to pop the loom apart. then follow the wire up to under the dash, unplug and you should be good to go.

To install do the same thing but do not cut the carpet. You should already have cuts in the carpet for the wires to come through under your seat.

I personally have 2 plugs under my seat because I installed a 6 way power adjuster & the Lumbar supported "GTA" Ultima seats.
