The VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
The new VHX Systems fit directly into the stock dash of a 1961-62 Chevy Impala without modification.
The upper (speedometer/voltmeter/fuel level/message centers) display utilizes the stock trim ring, whereas the lower displays (tachometer/oil pressure/water temp) include machined aluminum/chromed new instrument housings.
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems.
*61- 62 Impala dashboard and Chrome Speedometer Trim/ Bezel not included.

·1/8" NPT, ground isolated sensor with a 10 ft harness.
Oil Pressure
·1/8" NPT solid state sensor with a 10 ft harness.
Cable Driven Speed Sensor/ Generator
·Replaces GM style speedometer cables with a 10 ft harness. Sensor requires approximately 5" clearance extending between the cable drive output and any obstruction. Part # 130011 (sold separately) allows for relocation of the pulse generator when additional clearance is required. (Tremec and Ford style adaptors available on request.)
Bushings
·Each kit comes with 1/8" to 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" NPT bushings along with bushings for 12mm and 16mm x 1.5 threads.

Calibration
Pushbutton
·Dakota Digital instruments are programmed and operated by the push of a button. Simply mount the included pushbuttons supplied with your gauges in a convenient and easily accessible location. These buttons are used to calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count and the fuel level gauge. Once properly configured these same buttons are used to access the wealth of information located in the Digital Message Centers.
