Can I do this column swap?
Here's the deal. I can swap into my car an entire tilt steering column with the leather Camaro wheel for a standard column? The problem is currently in the car are regular wipers and the tilt column has intermitent. Is there a difference in the wiring? What needs to be rewired and does anyone have a diagram on them? Do I need to change the wiper motor also?

just swap em man. no differrence in wiring. the harneses will connect wether you have all or none of the extras.the harness is the same. if you dont have cruise and things like that in your new column or the other way around, there will be more or less wires in the harness. it will still connect regardless. piece of cake

You will need to swap the wiper motor also, the intermittant is solid state and contained inside the motor housing. I'm not sure, but I think you will need to modify the harness some because there's extra wires needed, but they may already be there. Also some cars have the washer pump in the bottle, while others have it externally mounted... A wiring diagram should help (Chiltons book)
The column should swap right in no prob.
