Given the overhang that is built into the Cutlass dash, I don't think sunlight/glare would be a problem for you. Are you trying to swap a UB3 into a non-UB3 car?

 

BTW, welcome to the boards!

 

PS-If you are trying to do a cluster swap, and have not yet found a UB3, I have one to sell to you :)

Well, I don't have any pictures of the specific one I have for sale, but there are some pictures of another member's Cutty covertible that has a UB3 from the factory in the following link:

A better pic of the UB3 can be seen here:

Basically, if you want to do the swap, you'll need a cluster (obviously), and you'll need to change the pinouts in the wiring harness that connects to your gauge cluster. You can either:

 

A) Do it yourself

 

B) Purchase a wiring adapter from one of our members

and they only had the ub3s up til 91 or 92 (i forget) so yes, you have to get an older one. The pinouts are on the main w-body page, but be forewarned, I've heard of some people having major troubles putting one into a 94. I think i have some other helpful things i got from other members if you get stuck, but mine was very straightforward, except for a dimming problem I have yet to fix (it goes about half dim with the lights on, but doesnt dim variably like it's supposed to, but I almost like it)

 

edit: Oh yeah, and I dont ever remember having a problem seeing it, those suckers are bright!

probably anything around 40$ or less would be about fair, don't pay more than like 60ish though, they can be had for under that. Check out ebay too, they sometimes have some

the RPO code is actually UB3 for your original dash...that's the digital UB3...it looks cool, but my car has HUD so i really don't see a reason to change. I do have an extra cluster at my house though

Get the UB3 from a j/y with one of those wiring harness from another member is the way to go. It makes life much simpler to go back and forth between instrument gages and installation is a snap. The issues I have had with the gage swap was dimming of the cluster and making the tack work. Those things are easily fixed by splicing into some wires. I usually don't have any problems with viewing the UB3 with my top down, I say go for it. I bought my UB3 at a local j/y for $25.
