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

If you're the proud owner of a 1978-1982 Chevrolet Corvette, you know that this iconic vehicle is all about performance and driving experience. The Dakota Digital MHX-78C-VTA-K-B is designed specifically for your Corvette, providing a modern touch to your classic ride without sacrificing that vintage charm.

Enhanced Instrumentation

Forget about the outdated gauges that can barely keep up with your performance upgrades. Whether you've swapped out the underwhelming L82 for a powerful big block or a turbocharged LS, the MHX-78C-VTA-K-B has you covered. This system includes precision sending units that ensure accurate readings for oil pressure, water temperature, voltmeter, and fuel level, all seamlessly integrating into your factory console bezel.

Gauge Features

  • Speedometer & Tachometer: Full-size, beautifully crafted in billet aluminum with a sleek flat black powder coat finish.
  • Additional Gauge Options: Choose between a third LCD message center (VET) or an analog clock (VTA) to fill that fifth gauge opening.
  • Visibility: Fully lit needles and backlit faces ensure you can read your gauges in any lighting conditions.

Precision Engineering

What sets the MHX Series apart is not just its good looks. Underneath, it features micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors for unparalleled accuracy. Plus, with user-customizable display feedback, you can tailor the information to your driving style. And don’t worry about durability—Dakota Digital backs this system with a limited lifetime warranty, a testament to its quality.

Installation & Compatibility

Designed to fit right into the factory console bezel (note: bezel is not included), this system is straightforward to install. The provided components include:

  • Water Temperature Sensor: 1/8" NPT, ground isolated with a 10 ft harness.
  • Oil Pressure Sensor: 1/8" NPT solid state with a 10 ft harness.
  • Cable Driven Speed Sensor: Replaces Ford/GM style speedometer cables; requires 5" clearance between the cable drive output and any obstruction.
  • Bushings: Comes with various NPT bushings for easy installation.
  • Control Box Dimensions: Compact size at 5.5" x 3.5" x 1".

Calibration Made Easy

Calibration is a breeze with the included pushbuttons. Simply mount them in an accessible location, and you can easily calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count, and adjust the fuel level gauge. Accessing the wealth of information in the Digital Message Centers is just a button push away.

Fitment

  • Chevrolet Corvette 1978-1982
