I guess you cant use the promo pictures as a definitive guide as they could of been a pre-release vehicle. Being that HQ's used the differnet speedos with the GTS guages in different senarios I guess it could be plant specific.
One plant may go by the rule that only GTS coupes and GTS/4's got the 220 with the GTS dash and another plant added the Sandman to that list. Kingies and Statos got the Std speedo and interestingly the SS based on a Belmont used it as well. Byron has ordering procedures that state the 220 was to be used, owners of sandman's in the eighties have said that theirs have had both...
Steve1975 has an origional HQ Sandman and all the guages date the same with the 220. Probablly was right. (Although all 200/220kmh only speedos would date similar)
My van was ratted of the dash and had an early one. I'm going to put the 220kmp in my rebuild as I like the fact the needle looks the same.. haha
