If you’ve got a 1968-69 Cutlass, F-85, or 442 and you’re itching to upgrade your ride’s dashboard without hacking up the dash, you’re in for a treat. This Dakota Digital MHX Series instrument system is designed to fit right in using your stock bezel—no need for any major modifications. It’s a straightforward swap that brings a modern twist to your classic car.

What’s cool about this setup? You get a full-size speedometer and tachometer, plus a quad-gauge that works seamlessly with your original hoods. Whether you’re running a classic 455 Rocket or something a bit more unique, the included sensors will integrate perfectly with your drivetrain. You can pick between a sleek black or silver face, and the LED backlighting comes in blue, red, or white—so you can customize it to match your vibe.

Now, let’s talk features. The MHX Series stands out with fully lit needles and backlit faces, which means you can actually see everything clearly, even in bright sunlight. And the LCD message centers? Super handy for checking your stats at a glance. Under the hood, this system uses precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors, giving you accuracy you can trust. Plus, Dakota Digital backs it all up with a limited lifetime warranty, so you know they stand by their gear.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you get:

• Speedometer: 0-120 MPH (or 0-195 km/h if you prefer metric)
• Tachometer: 0-8,000 RPM
• Oil Pressure: 0-80 psi
• Water Temperature: 100-260°F (or 40-120°C for metric)
• Fuel Level: E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F
• Voltmeter: 9-17 VDC

The digital message centers are pretty slick too. You’ll get a user-settable odometer, dual trip meters, and even a clock. If you’re into performance, there are timers for 0-60 MPH, 1/4 mile times, and more. It’s like having a mini race track on your dash!

Lighting is another strong point. The auto-contrasting LCD display makes it easy to read in bright sunlight, and at night, the LED backlighting ties everything together nicely. And don’t worry about missing important indicators; you’ll have everything from turn signals to check engine lights right there in your line of sight.

Included with the system are all the sensors you’ll need: a water temperature sensor, an oil pressure sensor, and a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces the old Ford or GM speedometer cables. Just keep in mind that the speed sensor needs about 5 inches of clearance, but if you’re tight on space, there’s an optional part to help with that.

Finally, calibration is a breeze with the included pushbuttons. Just mount them where they’re easy to reach, and you can set everything up in no time. Whether you’re adjusting the speedometer or checking out the digital message centers, it’s all right at your fingertips.

All in all, the MHX Series is a solid choice for anyone looking to modernize their classic ride without losing that vintage feel. It’s built right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know you’re getting quality craftsmanship. Time to give your Cutlass, F-85, or 442 the upgrade it deserves!
