Answer
Hi Keith,
I have the '90,'92 and '93 wiring diagrams. The digital cluster out of the '90 LeB has the same pin assignments as the '92 and '93, and the body computers don't seem to be different in their pin assignments between '92 and '93 nor between the digital and the mechanical clusters (just some extra wires for the concealed headlamps that you won't need). However, you will find that the mechanical cluster wiring in your Daytona has different plugs for the two types of clusters (I hope you took the plugs from the donor car), and you are going to have to add a couple of wires to the harness that aren't present currently. Also their are a couple of wires on the harness for one of the bcm plugs that you will have to add. So basically it means rewiring the cluster plugs and doing some wiring changes. The clusters and the bcm's should do the job after you accomplish those wiring changes. I can xerox copy and postal mail you the all the pages you would need to pull this off. It costs me 10 cents a side to copy so if you would send me enough 42 cent stamps that cover my copying costs and postage after you get the pages that would be appreciated.
If you are up to adding some wires to the existing harnesses I think you can make it work. There are fewer wires needed for the electronic cluster (those would be left over) and the concealed headlamp wires for the LeB set up won't be needed at the BCM since you don't have those on the Daytona.
Use the "thank/rate" tab to tell me a postal mailing address and I'll copy and mail the pages to you.
