    They have different fuel/temp gauges. The 86-87 the needles point outward and inward on the 88-89.

    Not always true. At first we all thought that to be, but it more seems to be where is was built(Japan/USA), instead of the year. Mine is an 87 that has them pointed inwards. blazin2gen has an 88 but outward gauges. I can tell you that the gauge has never been swapped, most likey the same situation for blazin2gen.
