If you're looking to upgrade the instrumentation in your classic 1970-1971 Ford Torino, the MHX Series is a game changer. This isn't just another aftermarket dash kit; it's designed specifically to fit that unique Torino opening, making it feel like it was always meant to be there. And trust me, once you see it in action, you'll appreciate the blend of modern tech and classic style.

One of the first things you'll notice is the speedometer cluster. It has this sleek, horizontal design that just looks right. But it’s not just about looks—this setup features fully lit needles and backlit faces that light up with bright, crisp LEDs. Whether you’re cruising down the highway or navigating through city traffic, everything is easy to read at a glance, even in bright sunlight.

Now, let’s talk about what’s going on behind the scenes. The MHX Series is packed with some impressive tech. We're talking micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can rely on. You won’t have to second-guess your oil pressure or water temperature anymore. Plus, the customizable display feedback means you can tailor it to your liking—no more one-size-fits-all here.

And if you’re into performance metrics, this system has you covered. You get standard displays for odometer and trip meters, along with performance timers for 0-60 mph and quarter-mile runs. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about knowing what your ride is doing, too.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the included sensors for water temperature and oil pressure, along with a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces those old Ford or GM-style speedometer cables. Just a heads-up: you’ll need about 5 inches of clearance for the sensor, but if you’re tight on space, there’s an optional part that can help with that.

Oh, and let’s not forget the warranty. Dakota Digital stands by their products with a limited lifetime warranty, which is pretty much a stamp of approval in my book. They design and manufacture everything right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know you’re getting quality craftsmanship.

Just a quick note: the bezel isn’t included, so you’ll want to snag that separately. But once you have everything set up, you’ll be amazed at how this modern instrumentation breathes new life into your classic ride. Whether you're a weekend warrior or just love taking your Torino out for a spin, the MHX Series is a worthy upgrade.
