If you’re looking to breathe some new life into your classic ride, the Dakota Digital MHX Series is a solid choice for your 1970-72 Pontiac A bodies—think T-37, Le Mans, Tempest, and of course, the GTO. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill gauge set; it’s a complete six-gauge system that’s designed to fit right into your stock instrument bezel. You can choose between a sleek Black or Silver Alloy face, illuminated in your choice of blue, red, or white. And yes, new clear lenses come with it, so you can ditch those old stock lenses that have seen better days.

What really makes these gauges stand out is the attention to detail. The needles are fully lit, and the faces are backlit, so whether you’re cruising at dusk or tackling a backroad at night, you’ll have no trouble seeing your vital stats. The LCD message centers are highly visible too, offering a modern twist that traditional gauges just can’t match. But it’s not just about looks; the MHX Series is packed with tech that’s designed to keep you informed and in control. You’ve got micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust, which is especially handy when you’re pushing your Pontiac to its limits.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the factory bezel compatibility, and the gauges come loaded with features that make them as functional as they are stylish. The speedometer goes from 0 to 120 MPH (or opt for the metric version that hits 0-195 km/h), and the tachometer tops out at a solid 8,000 RPM. You’ll also get gauges for oil pressure (0-80 psi), water temperature (100-260°F), fuel level, and voltmeter readings (9-17 VDC). Each gauge is lit up by a series of LEDs, so you can quickly check your stats without squinting.

And let’s not forget about the digital message centers. These bad boys come with a one-time user-settable odometer, dual trip meters, and a clock. For those who like to push their cars, there are performance meters for 0-60 MPH timers, quarter-mile times, and even high RPM recalls. It’s like having a race engineer right in your dash, keeping tabs on your performance.

As for the built-in indicators, you’ll get everything you need, including turn signals, high beam, check engine light, and cruise control indicators. There’s even a gear position indicator available if you grab the optional GSS-3000 sensor. Just a heads-up, not all OEM indicator functions will be replaced, but you can repurpose any unused indicators to fit your needs.

Included with the kit are all the sensors you’ll need: a water temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor, and a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces the old Ford/GM style cables. Plus, you’ll get a set of bushings to make installation a breeze. The control box is compact, measuring just 5.5" x 3.5" x 1", so you won’t have to worry about it taking up too much space.

Calibration is a cinch with the included pushbuttons, allowing you to set everything from your speedometer to the fuel level gauge with just a few clicks. Once you’re set up, you can dive into the wealth of information provided by the digital message centers.

In short, if you own a Pontiac GTO or Tempest from 1970-1972 and want to upgrade your instrumentation, the MHX Series is a game-changer. It combines vintage style with modern technology, ensuring you get the best of both worlds.
