Thanks for all the input folks- I really appreciate it. My '88 Cab was built in April 88, and is a US Spec car with the usual EPA/California compliant sticker inside the engine deck lid, and VIN/spec sticker on the driver's door jamb. I have a Letter of Authenticity for it, as well as a recent PCNA LofC, Letter of Compliance, that says it meets all USDOT specs, etc. The LofA states the options, etc. as ordered for delivery, and it also says Calif. DOT/EPA compliant as well. Curiously though, on the inside left of the engine deck lid opposite the US spec EPA/Calif/engine timing sticker mentioned earlier, there is a sticker in what I assume, for no real intelligent reason, is Japanese. The assumption is based on the probability of more people in Japan affording a Porsche vs China.

Today while checking/charging the R12 in the a/c system, the EXH light extinguished, and then came back on after a short test drive to check the a/c under normal driving conditions, and to cool the oil down. Ya got me!

I talked to a mechanic friend of mine today, and he was not familiar with the EXH light either. As an independant Porsche shop keeper, he works on them all- all day.....

I will pull the speedo out tomorrow morning and look for a reset button. I will let everyone know.....
PCNA doesn't have records as to what car went where- ie. which dealership, etc.- at least not that far back. Is there some way to tell if the car was also ready/intended for the Japanese market?
