Steering column swap... wipers/cruise???

I have an 85 Firebird which is in dire need of a steering column. Tilt is VERY sloppy, key won't turn and I can see a casting broken under the tilt area. It has a wheel but no horn. It's in sad shape right now. Basically... Junk.

AT, Floor shift, black, tilt, No cruise or pulse wiper.

My dad (the Camaro lover) found an 86 T/A column for sale locally.
It's from an A/T car. has tilt, cruise and delay wipers.

I think the Cruise is a separate plug...
What about the pulse wipers?
Will I be able to plug regular wipers into this harness?
If the whole plug changed for that option, I'll need the other connector to splice wires into this harness... Right?

Thanks Much, guys!!
This seems like a cool place!

<edit> I went searching in the "Electrical" topic and I think I found my answer already.
I guess I should have posted there first.

The wiper wiring harness is the same for the two wiper systems.
I need the wiper motor cover for a delay/pulse system to make it all work right.

I haven't found any Cruise wiring info yet.

Great source of information here!

yes cruise is a seprate plug..as for the wipers they will work fine..the delay wipers plug is just longer with a few extra wires on it.. but they plug in the same..you should be fine with that column..
