I wanna go digital - F-Body Online

I found a digital set up for my 67 bird. Summit racing carries these clusters to replace the gauges in the dash. summit # DAK-VFD3-67C-CAM
Anyone used the dakota gauges before?

Those look pretty nice. Never used them before though.

Look great, but I had a friend in high school who had digital gauges and after a few months it all quit working. Not sure what brand they were but just giving you a heads up.

I remember one day he was doing about 30 in a 45 zone so I passed him and he called me instantly and asked why was I passing him when he was already speeding, ah good times.

Id' say go for it, if I wasn't such a hardcore analog guy myself. (Aint' that Ironic?)

Just make sure the wires you run send clean signals and aren't' frayed, or you will regret it to the tune of about $600 shipped.

Gauges like that are the one thing i hated about my 92 Vette when i had it.

But if you like them,go for it

If it was going to be a daily driver Id go with the anolog but with the other mods Im planning the digital fits the car better
