well it wouldn't be 91-97, it would either be up to 94 or 95up,
cause their is a difference.

any way to get a pic?

It's probably from 91-94. Let's see some pics. Front and back.

It's probably from 91-94. Let's see some pics. Front and back.

88 - 91(early) = Moons (Pretty self-explanitory)
*88 had the "striped" moons
**89-91 had solid moons with red tips if memory serves correctly.

91(late) - 94 = Needles(Obviously they dont come factory red, but this is my current 91 cluster, replaced my 88 moons)
*Tach was an option
*91(late) clusters will swap into 88-91(early) years with some rewiring that is very easy.

95-98 = Needles (also not factory blue)
