gnx ?

What to look for when uninstalling true SW gnx gauges? Are the sending units specific as well? Any info would be appreciated.

I have attached pictures of the GNX Dash assembly that may help you in the uninstalliing of them ...and yes there are additional sending units for the water and oil presure gauges. Note the vacume line for the boost gauge....regards Rick

THANKYOU! Gotta love the hospitality and knowledge from this board. I will check them out and take some pics and compare each part to the pics you provided me.

Here is the only picture of the dash that I was provided. I know that is not a AVC. Can you tell from the pic what this is if real asc unit at all?

It is really tough to see with the extreme angle of the picture. The Boost gauge is definitely not ASC OEM as it would have red in the portion that you can see.

true. Also the tach looks different. I will request more pics. I know it is a shot in the dark as the asc dash is rare as it gets. We will see.

GNX? Possibly a clone

The tach is the later-style center. It's either a real X with a replaced tach & boost gauge, or someone bought the kit from Joe Harrington to install a true GNX dash minus the exact gauges. Once the NOS stock ran out of the original style, he had the later style with different centers. The boost gauge might be the special 30lb "GNX Buick" labeled proto boost gauge that Joe had a few of. It looks like an SW gauge, but I can't quite see the center well enough. The speedo probably has a center needle similar to the tach, unlike the earlier version used in the production X dashes.

So.. it's 95% there... chances are it's a good clone with Joe's kit. Not a genuine X if so, but not bad.

Thanks again. Will be getting more pics over the weekend and will post them up. Either way I knew it was a long shot but we will see.
