Dakota Digital VHX-70C-CAM-K-B 70- 81 Camaro VHX Instruments

The Dakota Digital VHX-70C-CAM-K-B instrument system is a direct-fit gauge upgrade designed specifically for 1970-81 Chevrolet Camaro models. This system installs using the factory or reproduction gauge bezel (sold separately), making it a simple bolt-in solution that preserves the classic appearance of the second-generation Camaro while adding modern digital technology and performance monitoring.

The VHX Series combines traditional analog styling with advanced electronics. Fully lit needles, backlit gauge faces, and bright LCD message centers provide clear visibility in all lighting conditions, while precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors ensure accurate readings. The system includes speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level, and voltmeter gauges, along with digital displays for odometer, trip meters, clock, and performance timers such as 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tracking. Engineered and manufactured in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this system delivers modern instrumentation capability backed by Dakota Digital’s limited lifetime warranty.
