If you're looking to upgrade the gauges in your 1969 Chevelle, Malibu, or El Camino, you’ve stumbled upon something pretty special. This direct-fit instrument system doesn’t just look good; it’s packed with features that make it a must-have for any serious car enthusiast. Imagine six analog gauges, all set to drop right into your existing gauge bezel, plus your choice of a slick LCD message center or a classic analog clock right in the center. It’s like giving your dashboard a facelift while keeping everything functional.

One of the standout features is the twin LCD message centers. They’re not just for show; they let you keep an eye on all the important stats, especially if you’re the type who likes to monitor every little detail. And those original turn signal arrows? They’ve been upgraded with LED illumination, so you won't miss a beat when signaling your next move.

When it comes to visibility, the MHX Series really shines. The fully lit needles and backlit faces mean you can read everything at a glance, whether you're cruising down the highway or tearing up the track. But it’s not just about looks—the precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors deliver accuracy that you can trust. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to suit your style. And if that’s not enough, Dakota Digital backs this system with a limited lifetime warranty, so you know they stand behind their craftsmanship.

Now, let’s talk specs. The speedometer goes from 0 to 120 MPH, with an optional metric version that hits 0-195 km/h. The tachometer tops out at 8,000 RPM, which is perfect for those high-revving engines. You’ll also get readings for oil pressure (0-80 psi), water temperature (100-260°F or 40-120°C), fuel level, and a voltmeter that covers 9-17 VDC. Each gauge is illuminated by a series of LEDs, ensuring you can see everything clearly, even in bright sunlight.

The digital message centers are where things get really interesting. They display an odometer that can be set once and will last a million miles, dual trip meters, and a 12-hour clock. Plus, if you’re into performance, you’ll love the 0-60 MPH timer, quarter-mile time, and speed recalls. Everything is designed to give you the info you need without overwhelming you with data.

What’s included? You’ll get sensors for water temperature and oil pressure, along with a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces the old Ford and GM style speedometer cables. Each kit also comes with various bushings to ensure a snug fit. And don’t worry about calibration; it’s as easy as the push of a button. Just mount the included buttons in a spot that’s easy to reach, and you’re set.

Just a heads up, the bezel isn’t included, so keep that in mind when you’re planning your upgrade. But if you’re looking to modernize your classic ride with a system that’s engineered right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this MHX Series is definitely worth considering. It’s a game changer for anyone who wants their classic Chevy to have the best of both worlds: vintage style with modern tech.
