I have recently acquired an 89 244, and will soon be heading off to some local junkyards in search of parts. I am looking for information concerning what years and models I should get the following items from:

Front seats. The upholstery fabric on my seats is in fairly good shape, but the frame of the drivers side back is twisted and broken, and the foam has come loose and shifted out of position in both seat backs. What year seats will fit in an 89?

Dash pad. Mine is badly cracked, faded, and has tape goo all over it from where the previous owner duct taped the broken glove box shut. What years can I use. How difficult is it to install?

Instrument cluster. Two problems here---the odometer doesn't work, and there is no tach. What years and models had a tach, which ones were big, which were small, and which will work in an 89? There may also be issues with the temperature gauge compensation circuit. I would like to buy a cluster with a tach, that is suitable for my car, and replace the odometer gear (if needed) and eliminate the compensation circuit before installing it. What year and model should I be looking for?

ECU. I discovered today, while doing something else, that my car has the dreaded pink label 561 ECU. What number should I replace it with? What years and models are they found in?

Taillights. Mine are badly faded 19 year old originals. Are all of the big (80 and up) sedan taillights interchangeable, or will only certain years work in my car?

Thanks in advance
