Still waitn on my BC springs and cams to finish up the head
but I figured I'd post my steering wheel install to keep things moving in the mean time:
Grant Steering Wheel Install:
Note: When replacing steering wheel remember to disable the horn and unplug the battery to avoid damaging anything.
Stock Steering Wheel:
Removed Center Piece:


Unscrewed Center Screw (marked red):

Note: I took off the steering wheel the old school way, with a hammer. Leave the screw bolted on for this. Position your two legs tightly up against the bottem of the steering wheel. Then hold a hammer against the center screw, then with another hammer carefully strike the first hammer while pulling the steering wheel back with your two legs wedged underneath. This will slowly break the friction and eventually pop out the steering wheel. Be VERY CAREFUL not the damage the center bolt area!!
Steering Wheel Removed:

Grant Adapter Hub Installed w/ Horn Wires:

Grant Steering Wheel Installed:

Help that helps anyone who simply wants a simple visual on installing a steering wheel on an "non-airbag" car...

Hehe I've got a 4G67 head ported and polished lying under my bed! With a pair of DCOE 45's that were supposed to be attached to it.
Good work, I've got the same block in my Stellar!

Head Specs:
Hot Tank + Resurface

Anyone curious how I disassembled and assembled the head:
