Can I put a Power Leather Driver Seat in place of a Non-Power Cloth one?
I hunt for Black cloth manual seats for my '89 Formula on Craigslist and at junk yards daily. I actually turned up a set of Black Leather seats in my local area. Price is right. Obviously the passenger and rear seats are manual BUT the driver's seat is power.
1st Question: Will all leather seats snap right into the OEM track for the cloth seats?
2nd Question: Can I get that power driver's seat to be power?
I have the original bill of sale, buying the car from the original owner and it states "Cloth Seats" I want to keep the car original but I like the leather. Any advice will work. Thanks.

If the donor car is around, grab the power seat harness from it. It should only be a few wires, but they will be the correct gauge.

See if it connects to some kind of circuit breaker or high amperage fuse also. If it does, grab it too.
