Captain Ficho Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 So as most of you know I'm a student by day and International Series hoarder by night and I was wondering if I could transfer the Driver Information Center in my 90 International into my 92 International. My 92 is my daily driver and just has a cubby hole below the ash tray where as the 90 has the DIC that fits in the exact same location. It makes me happy because it tells me "Good Morning" when I start the car and I want it in my daily driver now. So could I get it to work in my 92?

Gotta get one for the vert! Immediately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 yeah. it should work. but put one in both cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 It'll work fine, but don't count on the plug being there.. If you have electronic climate controls, then supposedly it *SHOULD* be there, but otherwise you're going to have to wire it in. I don't think there's a seperate harness that you can just unplug completely from the dash, I'm pretty sure factory gets spliced all over the place (meaning you wouldn't just be able to plug and play the wiring from the '90).

Â Very possible that VERY EARLY 1992 cars got the wiring but don't quote me on that. My 1992 with ECC did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 That too, they didn't even offer the DIC after '91 so your '92 I'm pretty sure won't have the wiring. My '92 didn't either, but it was pretty base when I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I might have to try to find a 1992 with a functional (numbered) OIL PRESSURE GAUGE and ECC and look for DIC wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I might have to try to find a 1992 with a functional (numbered) OIL PRESSURE GAUGE and ECC and look for DIC wiring. I've seen those. I'll start checking. Â BTW... my 91 vert was not wired for the DIC... have you ever heard of a vert with the DIC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_mezz Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 What do you mean 'a numbered oil pressure guage'? Aren't they all just high\low? you mean a digital or an analog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they all just high\low? you mean a digital or an analog? early 1992 cars had pressure readings on the analog cluster... and this is in both LQ1 and 3.1 MPFI cars.

j_mezz Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I did not know that...my 92 must be a late one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I need to document more which cars I have seen them in... but I did see two 92 3.1 verts with the numbered cluster. IIRC they were built 10/91. I have the vins somewhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManicMechanic Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 They started putting in H-L clusters around car number 25,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Would it be a huge PITA to put a DIC in a '94 convertible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked for the connector (yet but very soon!) but my 92 3.4 5-spd definitely has the H-L gauge. I'll send you the VIN if you want it. I also just bought a $100 92 coupe parts car, haven't seen the gauge set yet, will let you know what it's got in about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well, apparently not all 1992 3.4s have a numbered gauge then. I do think they were put in the 3.4 cars later than 25,000 because I have 3 or 4 3.4 cars documented that have later VINs (they might be Internationals, I'll have to look.) Â Pics and VINs would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 hmm. well I just priced a power supply for the lappy. $100?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Â crap. But I do intended to share what I have documented... and lost access to for the fourth time :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface: Â Â btw... I do agree that a seemingly larger portion of 3.4 cars had the numbered guage. They must have run with the numbered clusters until they ran out... meaning much later in the run for the lesser seen LQ1 cluster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Please do, because I do want to get all this together. I hope to have every 1988-1997 Cutlass Supreme VIN documented one day for no apparent reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
