If you're looking to upgrade the dash in your classic second-generation Torino, let me tell you about the MHX Series. This isn't just any aftermarket gauge cluster; it's designed specifically to fit the unique dash opening of your Torino or Ranchero, so you won't have to worry about any awkward gaps or modifications. It looks like it belongs there, but it brings a whole lot of modern features to the table.

One of the first things you’ll notice is the sharp LED backlighting. It makes everything super easy to read, even in bright sunlight or at night. The needles are fully lit, and the digital message center is clear and informative. You won’t miss a beat with the micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that give you spot-on accuracy. Plus, the display is customizable, so you can set it up to show exactly what you want.

Now, let's talk specs. The speedometer goes from 0 to 120 MPH (or 0 to 195 km/h if you prefer metrics), and the tachometer can handle up to 8,000 RPM. 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 tracks from 9 to 17 VDC. And trust me, the backlit technology is a game changer—everything is illuminated just right, allowing you to get a quick glance at what matters most when you're on the road.

The digital message center is packed with features, too. You’ve got an odometer that can be set once and goes up to a million miles, dual trip meters, and even a clock. If you’re into performance, the timers for 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile runs will keep you entertained. And when it comes to built-in indicators, you’ve got all the essentials covered: turn signals, high beam, check engine, and more. Just keep in mind that not all OEM indicator functions will transfer over, so you might need to get creative if you want to add more indicators.

Included in the kit are sensors for oil pressure and water temperature, both with 10-foot harnesses, plus a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces the old Ford or GM style speedometer cables. Just make sure you have about 5 inches of clearance for the sensor to fit properly. The control box is compact, measuring just 5.5" x 3.5" x 1", so it won't take up much space.

And here’s the kicker: Dakota Digital backs this system with a limited lifetime warranty. That’s a big deal when you’re investing in your ride. Everything is engineered and built right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know you’re getting quality.

Just a heads up, the bezel isn’t included, so you’ll need to grab that separately. But once you have it all together, you’ll be looking at a dash that not only looks great but also performs like a champ. If you’ve got a 1970-1971 Ford Torino, this is a solid upgrade that brings your classic into the modern age.
