What do i need to do, as far as the wiring or whatever to make them work? in a 91

IIRC they should bolt right in.As far as wiring the power to them,I'd use the existing wiring plug under the seats (for the power lumbar) for your power source.

the 1991 plug that comes out of the floor and hooks to the seat track for the power etc, will NOT plug into the plug on the 95 GT seats i bought. i tried.

Guess im going to need to go to a junkyard, find a 94+ and cut the plug out of it and wire into my 91.

I did'nt say it would plug right in.You can get some crimp on quick connectors at the parts store that will work,you can just cut off both plugs,and do it that way.

Power seats draw a good amount of current, so check the gauge of the wiring on the plug thats already there. If it looks feeble, (I haven't been in my car for years so I'm not sure of the gauge) then run a constant fused power source straight to the battery and ground the other side. You shouldn't need any ign. source, just constant power to run the seats. But make sure you fuse it close to the battery if you go this way.

Yea i decided against it. I just swapped seat frames and made it full manual.
