1988PhantomFE3 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I have always wanted an original 1988 HUD than came in the Pace Cars at Indy, but what is the actual differences between them all for each year? I know the dimmer switch was different, but only from photos. Any knowledgable members with facts out there? Thank You, Too Lazy To Google!

94 olds vert Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Honestly, not too much of a difference. 88-90 Huds have the dimmer mounted on the left side of the dash and as you mentioned its different than the 91s to 94s. 88-90 Huds have a screen atop the glass like a plastic grate. They have Hughes badges on them. 91s+ are more rounded and sleek looking. Internally probably some minor differnces. Maybe a few wiring changes. Mounting is pretty much the same. A 91+ hud could be made to work in a 88-90 car and vice versa with a 91+ car and older hud. If it wasnt so early I would dig up pics.

Crazy K Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 pretty much dead on. there were two different version of the early HUD, based on where the adjuster for the mirror was positioned, but both were seen in pacecars.... I've only seen Six of the original style HUDs in person ever, vs many more of the 91-94 style. I only have one in my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
