I need to replace all the gauges on my 69.
Obviously one option is to replace them with stock type gauges
However, it would be nice to get a set that fits in the stock bezels that
1. Has a gps driven speedometer. Or one that you can add a gps driver to
2. Has a tachometer that does not need a cable drive from the distributer
and
3. Has an electric oll pressure gauge instead of having oil come to the gauge in a tube.

Any set out there that would do all that?

Thanks

1.. Spendy but I was looking at a speedbox last year, drives your mechanical speedometer from a GPS driven motor, could also update or re-face yours but still mechanically driven
2.. Upgrade to a newer (75) tach from a HEI car and it'll have the electronic tach, or have yours changes to an electronic guts
3.. Not sure but again a newer gauge is likely the easiest and have your face installed.

Look at this company. They sell new and refurbished, both have a lifetime warranty.I purchased refurb but have not installed yet. Build quality looks very good.

Dakota Digital, and they look like real gauges.

I second them- finally a set of gauges that look like they are suppose to be there.
And can easily use a GPS speed reader

if you don't need or want gauges on the console, you can go do this:

With the Dakota, you don't need to mess around with the trans speedo gear, they use an electronic pick up. All you have to do is use your cell phone, a hand held GPS or another car doing a predetermined speed and hit "calibrate" on the speedo and voila, you're done.

They are all electronic, use lat model GM senders (water, oil and tach is connected like any other elec tach is)
There new DHX style has a larger digital display and will let you add other gauges to display in there (like boos, AF etc), they just cost a lot more than the VHX do.

I assume you're now driving the 71 instead of worrying about it?

I second the Dakota Digital vote. I have one of their units in my 74 FJ40 and it works really well. If they have it for the Corvette, skip the tire pressure monitor module; mine sucks.

ha ha ha
Indeed I am both driving it
and worrying about it
The gauges are actually quite nice on the 71 and I am tempted to use them on the 69
and these under the discussion for the 71
