What dash is this?
« on: April 29, 2010, 05:22:19 PM »
Never seen a Samurai with this dashboard before.  Is it an 88.5 with the EFI 1.3L?

Late model dash - started in the 88.5 year and was that way until the end in '95

Found this on a VIN decoder site. It is a 88.5 by the looks of the square dash vents and no tach. It is not a TBI as FI did not come along until 1990.

I thought the injection 1.3s came in 88.5.
Thanks for the info though.  I was just curious about the dash since I'd never seen one like that before.

No.  1990 was the first year for EFI samurais.

As mentioned, that is an 88.5 (or 89) cluster.  The EFI clusters look the same, but IIRC the clusters will not interchange with a carbed 88.5/89 cluster because of the way the clusters are wired.

If it said "diesel fuel only" I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat...
