Default gauges

Is there any gauge kits similar to Dakota digital for gauge kits in my 69 vette .I thought I would do it while installing my 434 which just dyno'd at 650 hp at 6500 rpm and 603 trq I think at 4900 rpm it should be a good all round motor for auto cross and road race stuff.

I used Intellitronix gauges . They sent me an e-mail about a discount for the next couple of days. Their prices are A LOT cheaper than dakota digital, and I found the instructions easy enough to wire it.
They are also advertised on Ebay for a good price. When I bought mine the only color was red, but now there are more. I like the red at night ,but sometimes it is hard to see during the day.

+1 for Intellitronix. I have a full set in my 80. I installed several of them almost 20 years ago and they are still working perfectly. I also have red. They are available as kits or individually so you can choose what you want to monitor.

OP: Beautiful Vette btw. Love the flares.
