If you're looking to upgrade your classic ride with some serious tech, the MHX Series from Dakota Digital is where it’s at. This isn't just another set of gauges; it’s a whole new way to keep an eye on your engine's health. The fully lit needles and backlit faces make everything easy to read, even in bright sunlight. And that LCD message center? It’s crystal clear, so you won’t be squinting to see your vital stats when you’re cruising down the highway.

What really sets the MHX Series apart are the features you can't see at first glance. These gauges are powered by micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors, which means you’re getting top-notch accuracy. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to suit your style. And let’s not forget about the unbeatable limited lifetime warranty—Dakota Digital stands behind their stuff, which is a huge plus in my book.

Everything is engineered and made right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know you’re getting quality craftsmanship. This series has really shaken up the instrumentation game, and for good reason.

Now, let’s talk specs. The analog gauges cover all the essentials. The speedometer goes from 0 to 120 MPH (or 0 to 195 km/h if you prefer metric), while the tachometer revs up to 8,000 RPM. You’ve got oil pressure readings from 0 to 80 psi, and the water temperature gauge spans from 100 to 260°F (or 40 to 120°C for metric lovers). Fuel level? It’s got you covered with easy-to-read E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and F indicators. And the voltmeter? It tracks from 9 to 17 VDC, so you always know if your battery is in the green.

Lighting is a big deal with these gauges. The backlit technology is super handy for performance setups, giving you precise visibility when you need to check something fast. Each number and indicator is illuminated by a series of LEDs behind the gauge face, making it easy to see what matters most.

On the digital side, you’ve got a standard display that includes a one-time user-settable odometer (yep, it can hit a million miles), a dual trip meter, and a clock. But it doesn’t stop there. Performance meters let you time your 0-60 runs and quarter-mile times, which is pretty cool for those who like to push their rides to the limit.

And if you’re concerned about fitment, this setup is designed specifically for the Buick GS and Skylark models from 1970 to 1972. Just a heads up, you will need to use your factory bezel since it’s not included in the kit.

Included with the system are sensors for water temperature and oil pressure, along with a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces the old Ford or GM style cables. Plus, you get a bunch of bushings to make installation a breeze.

When it comes to calibration, it’s as easy as pushing a button. You’ll mount the included buttons in a spot that’s easy to reach, and from there, you can calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count, and adjust the fuel gauge. Once it’s all set up, those same buttons give you access to all the info in the digital message center.

In short, if you want to bring your classic Buick into the modern age without losing that vintage feel, the Dakota Digital MHX Series is a solid choice. It’s got the looks, the tech, and the reliability to keep you informed on every drive.
