Dakota Digital VHX-66C-CVL-C-B 1966-67 Chevelle VHX Instruments

The first major redesign of the new A-body platform saw many styling changes, and the instrument system was among the updates. VHX-66C-CVL is a direct bolt-in replacement using an original or reproduction bezel (available separately) that fits six analog readouts with the addition on a single, large LCD message center.

Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid-state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems. Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
