Re: Will this steering wheel fit?

I actually Bought that exact same stearing Wheel for my 84 camaro off of ebay.

When I tried to remove my old one it almost seems as though the current one is possibly welded on, all i know is that its not going to be very easy to take off.

If i can manage to get the stock one off It looks like the apc wheel should fit, or mabey It will need that chevy hub adapter or whatever. Not sure yet.

Its not welded on.....You just need a steering wheel puller (any Autozone/O' Riellys etc.) to get it off. That center ring will come off with the welded pieces.

Re: Will this steering wheel fit?

Thanks for letting me know. The odd staggered bolt pattern in the center of the wheel looks as though it matches whats on the Wheel that I bought so i figured that I might be able to just bolt it on if i got the old one off of there but I guess that whole center peice is one part and all comes off. Meaning I will likley need to get that adapter or whatever to get it on.

Grant Steering Wheel Adapter Part # 3162 according to my old parts catalog... any advance auto, auto zone, or O'reilly's should be able to hook you up with the right one...

Re: Will this steering wheel fit?

My adapter kit was part #3196 and I have that same wheel but silver spokes.

Here is the difference between the 3196 kit and the 3162 kit mentioned above

#3196
Does not fit telescopic steering column.

#3162
Will fit TSC (Doesnt say it won't so I figure it will)

Re: Will this steering wheel fit?

A telescopic steering column is one that you can pull out towards you or push in towards the dashboard just like a telescope.
