Camaro to Firebird Wheel Swap
Soo I love my 91 Bird, but I hate the stock steering wheel. It's so thick and just uncomfortable. The one thing I really miss about my '88 Camaro was the wheel, it was nice. Would a wheel from a Camaro be able to take the place of the one i have now?? If so, what would I need to get it installed?

Re: Camaro to Firebird Wheel Swap
the same splines were used across quite a few gm vehicles, so fit should be ok. however, in case i'm remembering wrong, your 91's got an airbag and the 88 doesn't. If that's the case, you may not pass inspections due to the removal of mandatory safety equipment.

Re: Camaro to Firebird Wheel Swap
Did the same thing with my '91. The earlier steering wheel is a direct fit, just clip the horn wire on, match up the splines, tighten down the nut, and you're good to go. You will have to clip the yellow airbag wire to get the wheel on, but otherwise it's very straight forward.
