The small instrument cluster is just begging for an upgrade, and this direct-fit package is just the ticket! Use your stock 1957- 60 steel front bezel to install this six-gauge-system, complete with sending units in your choice of Black or Silver Alloy face styling. Drivetrain upgrades are not an issue; its compatible with everything from a Y-Block to a 4.6 modular motor!
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterdays traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you dont normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems.
Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!

Included Sensors:
Water Temperature- 1/8" NPT, ground isolated sensor with a 10 ft harness.
Oil Pressure- 1/8" NPT solid state sensor with a 10 ft harness.
Cable Driven Speed Sensor/ Generator: Replaces Ford and/ or GMstyle speedometer cables with a 10 ft harness. Sensor requires approximately 5" clearance extending between the cable drive output and any obstruction. Part #130011(sold separately) allows for relocation of the pulse generator when additional clearance is required.
Bushings: Each kit comes with 1/8" to 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" NPT bushings along with bushings for 12mm and 16mm x 1.5 threads.
Calibration: Pushbutton, Dakota Digital instruments are programmed and operated by the push of a button. Simply mount the included pushbuttons supplied with your gauges in a convenient and easily accessible location. These buttons are used to calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count and the fuel level gauge. Once properly configured these same buttons are used to access the wealth of information located in the Digital Message Centers.
