BlueCoupe 8 Report post Posted September 13, 2019 @nickjames138 which dash bezels did you use? They look like the deluxe ones but black instead of woodgrain? I really like the look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like the look. I actually took it to an upholster shop and had him wrap it. It’s like a padded leather. Super soft and durable. Turned out much nicer than I thought.

stangman69 17 Report post Posted October 8, 2019 Meh, I think I like the VHX and HDX better. I think you guys that installed the VHX cluster should upgrade. I'll buy your old, out-dated VHX cluster from you. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

potato 10 Report post Posted May 28, 2022 Digging up an old thread... Its about time to replace the gauges in my car. Every time I look at it, it seems something else breaks. Mine's a non-tach car. Transmission is a T-5, which I believe should be compatible with their electronic speed sending unit. My distributor is HEI with a terminal marked "tach". Did this thread ever arrive at a handy list of what wires plug in to which terminals on the dakota digital brain box? And which terminals we don't use? Spending that much for a dash, I would like to be able to get as much functionality out of it as possible, having it interface with as much of the factor stuff as I can. For example, can this cluster be wired up such that the factory headlight switch you rotate to brighten and dim the gauges still works? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted May 28, 2022 For example, can this cluster be wired up such that the factory headlight switch you rotate to brighten and dim the gauges still works? Dakota has DIM GRD and DIM SIG inputs and they sell a 10k pot to dim the display. Keep in mind that the ash tray, heater, radio, and clock lights are still on the light switch dimmer, have a different power source and fuse, so the two circuits need to be separate. I've contemplated machining a shaft for the light switch to interface with the Dakota dimmer in some Rube Goldberg contraption. That would be a fun little project. 1 det0326 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlife 814 Report post Posted June 15, 2022 Almost; there are subtle differences between the 69 and 70, but the functionality of the dash cluster and circuit card are the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
