1978-83 El Camino, Malibu & Caballero Sweep-Dash VHX System by Dakota Digital®
Sweep-style VHX system adds six analog gauges and LCD data while fitting the OEM dash bezel.
Upgrade a factory long-sweep G-Body dash with Dakota Digital's VHX-78C-MAL instrument system. Dakota Digital specifies 1978-83 Chevrolet El Camino and Malibu plus 1978-83 GMC Caballero applications with the OEM long sweep-style speedometer and gauges. It does not fit round-gauge clusters. This Dakota Digital VHX system combines six analog gauge sweeps with digital LCD message-center data. The analog gauges monitor speed, engine RPM, oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level and voltage using micro-controlled stepper motors, fully illuminated needles and LED-backlit faces. The LCD centers add a one-time-settable million-mile odometer, dual trip meters, 12-hour clock, digital gauge readouts, 0-60 mph and quarter-mile performance timers, trap-speed data, high-speed recall and high-RPM recall. The included solid-state sender package provides water-temperature, oil-pressure and cable-driven speed sensing, plus common NPT/metric adapter bushings, control box, switch assembly and harnessing. Pushbutton setup handles speedometer calibration, cylinder count and fuel-level calibration. Current black-plastic VHX control boxes also support Dakota Digital BIM expansion modules for additional data channels. The six-gauge system installs into the OEM/reproduction-style bezel, which is not included. Black or Silver Alloy face options are offered with blue, red or white illumination depending on configuration.
