Thank you. I have to stop reading these posts, it's costing me too much money. I've been thinking about getting a new set of instruments for quite some time, After reading your post and looking into it some more, I ordered up a set. Tried to justify the purchase with excuses like, my tach quit working and blocks the view of the speedo anyway, my direct oil gauge leaks and gets oil fumes into the cabin, the five gauge cluster over the hump is ugly, etc.
I have a hard time seeing my speedo especially at night, and since the thing only has idiot lights for warnings, I have a five set bundle of gauges below the dash above the hump, rather hard to look at those while driving. I've looked at New Vintage, Auto Meter and building my own, but the Dakota Digital seems to offer the most.
I had to take the $ out of my air conditioning fund, my wife is not gonna like that when she finds out.
