mine was above the glove box just one 10 mm

 

its a son of a bitch and makes you hate your life.

 

Look under the dash, (take it out) then on the left behind the radio bezel there is your culprit.
BTW, I don't mean to thread jack, but do you want to sell that great black dash? Any other interior tidbits you might want to ditch?

 

muhahahahahaha

psh
try living with **** brown

 

gotta love my tan leather!! with gold ext paint! 1982! GSL preimium sound system how rare is that?? hah sorry i couldnt help myself althought i would love an original red paint with black (leather? not sure if they made leather or cloth) interior. that would be suh-weet!

 

im in the process of finishing off a black/grey interior, when i took the dash out there was a screw bracket behind the guage pod towards the centre of the dash, that was my last PITA screw.

 

"shepski" thanks that sounds like a good place to find that screw also I have another question what is holding the Guage pod in place I cant seem to find anything , does it mount from the back?

hope that helps

 

for the guage pod theres 2 black screws that are hard to see, they are on the top edge of the guage pod. careful pulling the polycarb shield out, you dont want to snap that. good luck.

 

Does anybody have dash removal instructions for 81-83?

 

Finally I got the dash out soo many little bolts and screws and all sorts of stupid **** was there but all original which makes me happy cause mine is missing more then 1/2 the original hardware, all I have left that I dont need is the head liner its black and in great condition, but i cant use it I have the sunroof option and this one is a ful roof. Now all I have to do is swap all these parts into my burgandy interior.

does anyone know where I can get custom guages?

thanks for the help

I picked up a mint dash at the Junk yard for $35.00. Actualy the hold car was Spotless but the motor was dead. And YES LIKE I PICKED IT CLEAN!
