If you’re on the hunt for a killer upgrade for your 1969 Chevelle, Malibu, or El Camino, look no further. This direct-fit instrument system is a game-changer. Picture this: six analog gauges that fit right into your existing gauge bezel, plus your choice of an LCD message center or a classic analog clock right in the center. It’s a seamless blend of old-school style and modern tech, and trust me, it looks sharp.

The MHX Series really stands out with its fully lit needles and backlit faces that make it easy to read, even in bright sunlight. And those twin LCD message centers? They’re perfect for anyone who likes to keep an eye on more than just the basics. You can track everything from your speed to your oil pressure with precision, thanks to the micro-controlled stepper motors and solid-state sensors. Talk about accuracy!

Now, let’s get into some specs. The speedometer goes from 0 to 120 MPH (or 0 to 195 km/h if you’re into metrics), while the tachometer tops out at 8,000 RPM. You’ve got your oil pressure gauge (0-80 psi), water temperature (100-260°F or 40-120°C), and a fuel level gauge that shows you everything from empty to full. Plus, there’s a voltmeter that keeps tabs on 9-17 VDC. All of this is illuminated by a series of LEDs, so you can always see what you need at a glance, even when the sun’s beating down.

And let’s not forget about the digital message centers. You’ve got a million-mile odometer, dual trip meters, and even a clock. If you’re into performance, you’ll appreciate the 0-60 MPH timer and the quarter-mile tracking features. Everything is designed to be user-friendly, with auto-contrasting displays that adjust to lighting conditions, making it easy to read day or night.

One thing I really appreciate is the built-in indicators. You’ve got turn signals, high beams, check engine lights, and more, keeping you informed without cluttering up your dashboard. Just note that not all OEM indicator functions will be replaced, so if you need extras, you might want to repurpose some unused indicators.

Installation is straightforward, too. Each kit comes with all the necessary sensors and bushings, plus a control box that’s compact enough to fit just about anywhere. Calibration is a breeze with the included pushbuttons. Just mount them where they’re easy to reach, and you’re set to customize your setup to your liking.

Oh, and before I forget—this isn’t just some off-the-shelf product. Everything is engineered and built right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is pretty cool if you ask me. Dakota Digital has a solid reputation, and they back it up with a limited lifetime warranty, so you know you’re getting something that’s built to last.

Just a heads up, the bezel isn’t included, so keep that in mind when you’re planning your install. But if you’re ready to elevate your ride’s instrumentation, the MHX Series is the way to go. It’s a perfect fit for your 1969 Chevelle, Malibu, or El Camino, and it’ll definitely turn some heads.
