Is OI the same as APBA UI? How long after the 99in motors came out did the manufacturers build 89in motors? I was around in those days but those motors were above my pay grade.

I think its basically the same. Most UIM "O" classes allow prototypes (no minimum production) and alcohol fuel.
Directly: Merc started 99's in 68 and the last year of Merc's 89ci was 69. Remember that the 1966 1100 was not a 99 and not a 89, so it was a UJ in the US before 99's. OMC's last 89 was 1968, but did not make a 99 until 1971, in 69 OMC made a 92 and a one year 96. The 92 was made alonside the OMC 99 until 1978. Both companies supplied a very few special 89 racers to a few drivers to continue winning in OI for a few years after the fishing 89's were discontinued - trying to be able to say they swept all classes at races.
