Im putting a column from an 87 MCSS into an 81 Cutlass Calais.
Do I need to repin any of the plugs on the lower column?
I checked the plugs, they look to be the same except wire colors.

TIA

Swap & go. I put a '86 Monte Carlo column in my '81 Monte Carlo. You can even swap out the turn signal lever from your old coulmn to the '86.

I thought the wiring for the wiper motor changed for 84' and up columns when they changed the design of the wiper motor.

82’ and up the wiper stalk changed, if you use the 87’ column but keep your wipers on the dash then you’re good. The issue would be if you want to use the 87’ wiper switch/stalk. I put a 84’ column into my 81’ and kept the dash mounted wiper setup.
