Upgrade your 1967- 68 Mustang without cutting up a classic! VHX-67F-MUS attaches directly to a stock or reproduction instrument bezel while adding 21st Century functionality. Original turn signal locations are retained while upgrading to trouble-free LED illumination.
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!

| Included Sensors |
Dakota Digital Direct-Fit instrument systems are fully engineered to fit the stock dash opening of the vehicle they were designed for.
If you are interested in using this instrument system in a vehicle in which it was not intended to fit, you may experience installation challenges as it relates to mounting and proper viewing angle.
Additionally, any modifications should be done to the vehicle’s dash or surrounding housings, rather than the VHX System, as to prevent damage and retain warranty coverage.
Approximate dimensions are as follows:
Required system opening: 3.90” x 10.50″
Required clock opening: 2.5″ x 3.56″
Depth will generally mimic the stock gauge cluster, this often falls in the 1.5”-2.5” range.
If you require further dimension details, please contact Dakota Digital at 800-852-3228.

| Cable Driven Speed Sensor/ Generator |
| ·Replaces Ford and/ or GM style speedometer cables with a 10 ft harness. Sensor requires approximately 5″ clearance extending between the cable drive output and any obstruction. Part # 130011 (sold separately) allows for relocation of the pulse generator when additional clearance is required. |

| Bushings |
| ·Each kit comes with 1/8″ to 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ NPT bushings along with bushings for 12mm and 16mm x 1.5 threads. |

| Pushbutton |
| ·Dakota Digital instruments are programmed and operated by the push of a button. Simply mount the included pushbuttons supplied with your gauges in a convenient and easily accessible location. These buttons are used to calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count and the fuel level gauge. Once properly configured these same buttons are used to access the wealth of information located in the Digital Message Centers. |
Which extras items that are not included with this kit does Dakota Digital recommend that you consider?
Because Dakota Digital includes the required sensors for the Oil Pressure, Water Temperature and Speedometer with all its RTX, HDX, VHX and VFD instrument systems, in many cases no additional parts will be required. However, you may wish to consider the following optional items.
| GSS-3000 – Universal Gear Position Sensor
All Instrument packages contain a gear shift indicator display allowing the transmission gear position (Park, Reverse, etc.) to be shown within the message center. The GSS-3000 accommodates automatic transmissions with 2- 4 forward gears and enjoys a simple and straightforward installation. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION Although Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmable for both day and night intensity levels, the DIM-1 will allow rotary, or on-the-fly brightness adjustment added convenience. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION Dakota Digital instrument systems are designed to utilize a stock or aftermarket fuel level sensor. If a universal or replacement sensor is desired, the SEN-06-1 is a great choice. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION The BIM-01-2 OBD-II (J1850/CAN) Interface connects directly to the ECM diagnostic port to extract engine and transmission data and supply it to the VFD/ VHX/ HDX/ RTX instrument, making installation a breeze. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION The Dakota Digital BIM-17-2 makes it easy to add compass and outside air temperature information to your VFD/ VHX/HDX/ RTX instrument system. Readouts are visible in the instrument system’s message centers; sending units and mounting hardware included. |
