Default Digital cluster year differences

I know that the clusters changed visually from year to year, but would a newer (say, 87) cluster function is an 85?

Default Re: Digital cluster year differences (SBNova)

It "should".....

84: Has a funky design and tach follows power curve of the L83.
85: Newer tach and overall design, more easily read #s.
86: Newer angle to cut down on sunglare. Addition of upshift arrow.
87: Moved overdrive indicator to tachometer panel instead of center panel.
88: Same as 87
89: "UPSHIFT FOR BEST ECONOMY" now says "UPSHIFT 1 TO 4" with introductin of CAGS and the 6-speed.

I currently am using an '85 dash in my '86 and the fit is complete crap. Nothing lines up, but at least the stupid thing lights up :D
