[Shotimes] 92 Clock Light

[Carl Prochilo]

David,

The 92 model year had a unique clock AFAIK.  The Gen 1 dash was different,
and the 93-95 were also different.  Specifically, the 92 clock has a trip
timer and three buttons.  The 95 my son's car has only 2 buttons, so your
method probably works okay for that vintage SHO.  The ONLY way to access the
clock housing on a 92 is to go from behind.  :O
