1978-88 Monte Carlo & 1978-87 El Camino/Malibu/Caballero VFD System by Dakota Digital®

Six-gauge VFD system fits round-gauge OEM/reproduction bezels and includes the primary senders.

Convert the round-gauge G-Body dash to Dakota Digital Series III VFD instrumentation. Dakota Digital specifies 1978-88 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 1978-87 Chevrolet El Camino/Malibu and GMC Caballero applications; the system does not fit rectangular sweep-style clusters. Dakota Digital's Series III VFD system provides six high-brightness vacuum-fluorescent digital readings: 0-255 MPH speedometer, 0-17,500 RPM tachometer, 0-99 psi oil pressure, 0-300°F water temperature, 0-99% fuel level and 8-17 VDC voltage. Its message-center functions include a one-time-settable million-mile odometer, dual trip meters, 0-60 mph and quarter-mile timers, trap-speed data, high-speed recall and high-RPM recall. Built-in indicator support includes turn signals, high beam, check engine, parking brake, cruise and optional gear position when used with the GSS-3000. The included sender package supplies 1/8-inch NPT water-temperature and solid-state oil-pressure sensors, a GM-style cable-driven speed pulse generator with 10-foot harnesses, plus common NPT/metric adapter bushings. Pushbutton programming handles speedometer, cylinder-count and fuel-level calibration. Blue or Teal VFD display configurations are available. The six-gauge system fits the OEM/reproduction-style bezel, which is not included. The system also supports Dakota Digital BIM expansion modules when used with the current black-plastic control box. For automatic-transmission gear-position display, Dakota Digital recommends the optional GSS-3000 sender.
