Dakota Digital MHX-78C-VET-K-B Instrumentation System

If you're looking to upgrade your 1978-1982 Chevrolet Corvette's instrumentation, the Dakota Digital MHX-78C-VET-K-B is a fantastic choice that marries modern technology with classic aesthetics. Forget the Bloomington Gold certification; this system is designed for drivers who want performance and functionality without compromising on style.

Whether you've swapped out the original L82 for a high-powered big block or a turbocharged LS, the MHX-78C-VET-K-B has you covered with its included sending units. You can choose between a sleek LCD message center (VET) or an analog clock (VTA) to fill that fifth gauge slot in your center cluster, while the full-size speedometer and tachometer are perfectly positioned for the driver’s convenience.

The gauge housing is crafted from billet aluminum and powder-coated in a flat black finish, maintaining the original theme of your Corvette while providing a contemporary look. With fully lit needles and backlit faces, visibility is never an issue, even in low-light conditions.
