If you're looking to bring your 1969-70 Mustang into the modern age without losing that classic vibe, the Dakota Digital VHX Series is where it’s at. This isn’t just about swapping out old gauges; it’s about transforming your driving experience. Using the original bezel, Dakota Digital packs in six analog instruments and two LCD message centers, all while keeping that nostalgic layout intact. And if you want to add a little something extra, you can finish off your setup with a matching VLK-69F-MUS clock/message center or the VLC-69F-MUS analog clock for the passenger side.

What sets the VHX Series apart? For starters, those fully lit needles and backlit faces make a world of difference. You can actually see your gauges clearly, whether you're cruising down the highway or tearing up a back road. The LCD message centers are super visible, too. But it’s not just about looks; under the hood, you’ve got some serious tech. We're talking about micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to fit your style. And let's not forget about the limited lifetime warranty—Dakota Digital stands behind their products, which is something you want when you're investing in your ride.

Now, let’s dive into some of the specs that make this kit a must-have:

• Speedometer: Measures from 0-160 MPH (or 0-255 km/h if you prefer metric).
• Tachometer: Ranges from 0-8,000 RPM, so you can really push that engine.
• Oil Pressure: Reads from 0-80 psi, keeping you informed about your engine's health.
• Water Temperature: Monitors from 100-260°F (or 40-120°C for metric lovers).
• Fuel Level: Displays E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and F, so you know exactly when to hit the gas station.
• Voltmeter: Covers 9-17 VDC, which is essential for any performance build.

But that’s just scratching the surface. The digital message centers give you access to a ton of useful info, like an odometer that can be set once and then tracks a million miles, dual trip meters, and even a clock. Performance metrics? You bet! You can time your 0-60 runs, measure your quarter-mile time, and keep track of your high-speed recalls. Everything is designed to be user-friendly, with auto-contrasting LCD displays that look great even in bright sunlight, and LED backlighting for those night drives.

Included with the kit are all the necessary sensors to get you started right away. You’ll get a water temperature sensor with a 10 ft harness, an oil pressure sensor, and a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces the old Ford or GM style speedometer cables. There are bushings included too, so you can adapt it to fit your setup without a hassle.

Setting everything up is straightforward, thanks to the included pushbuttons that let you calibrate your speedometer and access all that info in the digital message centers. Just mount them somewhere handy, and you’re good to go.

So, if you’re ready to upgrade your Mustang’s instrumentation, this Dakota Digital VHX Series is a solid choice. Just remember, the bezel isn’t included—it's just for show in the pictures. And while not all OEM indicator functions will be replaced, you can always repurpose any unused indicators to fit your needs.

Fitment: Perfectly designed for Ford Mustang models from 1969-1970.

Note: Check the manuals for installation guidance and make sure to have fun while you’re at it!
