1978-88 Monte Carlo & 1978-87 El Camino/Malibu/Caballero VHX System by Dakota Digital®
Round-gauge VHX system adds six analog gauges, LCD data and included senders to the factory bezel.
Upgrade a round-gauge G-Body dash with Dakota Digital's VHX instrument system. Dakota Digital specifies 1978-88 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 1978-87 Chevrolet El Camino/Malibu and GMC Caballero applications with the OEM round speedometer and gauges; it does not fit the rectangular sweep-style cluster. 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 display installs into the OEM or reproduction-style bezel, which is not included. Black Alloy, Silver Alloy and Carbon Fiber face options are available with multiple backlight colors depending on configuration.
