If you’re looking to upgrade your 1970-81 Camaro's dashboard, the MHX Series from Dakota Digital is a solid choice. This isn’t just another instrument cluster; it’s a full-function system that brings modern tech to your classic ride while keeping that vintage aesthetic intact. You can easily bolt it in using your existing or a reproduction bezel, which you’ll need to grab separately. Just a heads up, this setup won’t work with Firebirds, so keep that in mind.

What really sets the MHX Series apart are the little details. The fully lit needles and backlit faces make everything super easy to read, day or night. Plus, the LCD message center keeps you informed without cluttering up the look. Inside, you’ve got micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors, which means accuracy that you can rely on—no more guessing if your oil pressure is right or if your temp is creeping up. And with Dakota Digital’s limited lifetime warranty, you know they stand behind their craftsmanship.

These gauges are engineered and made in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and you can really feel the difference in quality. The analog gauges are straightforward yet effective: the speedometer goes from 0 to 120 MPH (or metric if you prefer), and the tachometer tops out at 8,000 RPM. You’ve also got oil pressure up to 80 psi and water temperature readings that span from 100 to 260°F. The fuel gauge is intuitive, showing you E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and F, so you’ll never be left guessing how much gas you’ve got.

And let’s talk about the digital message center. It’s packed with features—odometer readings that can be set once for a million miles, dual trip meters, and even a clock. For the performance enthusiasts, you’ve got timers for 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile runs, so you can track just how fast you’re really going. The display is auto-contrasting, which is a game changer in bright sunlight, and at night, it’s beautifully LED backlit.

Now, about the built-in indicators: you’ll see everything you need, from turn signals to high beams, and even check engine lights. Just a note, not all OEM indicator functions will carry over, so if you want more indicators, you might need to repurpose some unused ones.

The sensors included are top-notch too. You get a water temperature sensor with a 10 ft harness, an oil pressure sensor, and a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces those old Ford/GM style cables. These sensors are designed to fit seamlessly, and the kit even comes with various bushings to make sure you can connect everything without a hitch.

Calibration is a breeze with the included pushbuttons. Just mount them where you can easily reach them, and you can set your speedometer, cylinder count, and fuel gauge with just a few clicks. Once you’re all set up, those same buttons give you access to all the info in the digital message center.

Fitment: This setup is specifically designed for Chevrolet Camaro models from 1970 to 1981. If you’re ready to give your Camaro the upgrade it deserves, the Dakota Digital MHX Series is definitely worth checking out.
