I think 95 is when they went OBDII and air bags... | | | 12-19-2009, 05:58 AM | #39 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | 95 was still OBDI, not sure when they started with the airbags but my 95 has them | | | 12-19-2009, 06:24 AM | #40 | Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: reading Posts: 56 | | | | 12-19-2009, 09:14 AM | #41 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | 95 OBD1 and the Passenger airbag was an Option.

Both the speedo and tach are calibrated differently between the TI and //M. The speedo and tach both have maximum values that are higher than the TI cluster. (TI Speedo goes to 140, //M speedo goes to 160) Therefore if you use the TI guts with the //M face and needles, both the speedo and tach will read incorrectly.
