Yes I've done a search and it only brings up more question. I have a '93 with the DOHC digital cluster with the infamous HUD.I've been trying to purchase one here and on ebay with no luck. seems they are in high demand since they seem to break. My question is what years are compatible? will an analog unit be compatible?

89-90 shoc and 91-94 dohc are interchangable within there own years. The difference is the tachometer. Yes you can get a analog unit all you will need is the small sub-harness that runs from the car to the cluster but you will need one from a 91-94.

Ok adding to my list of questions? I've done a bit more online research and it seem to tow diodes in the back maybe my problem. I'm going to try and repair it sometime this month when I get the chance. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I gave up trying to buy one since I keep loosing my bids..lol

no the tach signals are different it wont work at all, at least thats what ive been led to believe its not just the redline its the way the tach works.

the only thing that doesn't work is the speedo and HUD. they don't light up. the back light and gauges work fine.
