Default Telescopic on a 97'

Bought a tilt/telescopic steering column from a 2002 ZO6 off of Ebay for 150 bucks (option was not available till' 2001 I think). So far a total bolt in. All of the electrical plugs are the same. Only thing different was the steering position sensor but the one off my original fit fine. Just need to find where to tap into the harness for the power (motorized telescopic). Wish everything were this simple.

FYI, NO Z06's had that as an option.

You are going to need a 99 and up steering coupler shaft. The 97 and 98 ones won't fit that column. Also the harness is not available from the dealer. I had to pull a harness off a wrecked car. Or you can make your own.
