How do I tell the difference between EARLY 92 and late 92+?

[.Lex.]

Im looking to buy an early 1992 eagle talon (without the crankwalk) how do I tell the difference between an early one and a late 92 one?

1992 Eagle Talon AWD TSi

Look for the sticker that says when the car was assembled. Mine is a 92, but it was made in late 91. I got the 6 bolt motor and the 4 bolt rear. I think you can get one like mine up until April or May of 92 on the assembled sticker. I know Mike at Slowboy Racing knows the exact times of which 92 got what put in it.

7 bolt - late '92 oil pan (lower pic) is different

The stick JBillakdsm is refering to is under the hood, on the rear firewall, right above the intake manifold. Cant miss the big ol' sticker that says "DSM" on it
