RE: Looking at a 1g...
i decoded the vin, and i have found out everything that i already know...
it is a 92, it is a factory turbo car, it is AWD.
i cant think of an example, but when working as a tech there were some vehicles which would received a slight mid year change, and that would change the engine code for the vin, even though it was the same engine.

RE: Looking at a 1g...
The more important thing to know is whether it's a 6 or 7 bolt and that is as easy as doing this...

According to my CAPs, there are differences in motors codes, but only with it being a FWD or AWD. The engine code should be D27A with a vehicle name code of 50G. Now, the classification changes with one being either Federal or Cali specs. No. code is MNGFL4M is for Fed and MNGFL9M is for Cali spec. Other than that, check the oil pan for it being a 6 or 7 bolt.

Oh here's a DSM vin decoder btw. I know you've already decoded your VIN Pat, but this may be helpful to others in here.
*lol, I guess, I need to paste the link, lol*
