has anyone put a dakota digital bezel in, I have the opertunity to get one for $300 never used, is this a good price, and what do they look like?

I haven't personally seen them, but people I know that have them love them 100%. The lights are brighter during the day and dim at night for better visibility. One thing to consider, digital gauges such as the tach are harder to read as opposed to analog gauges...takes a little gettin used to (your brain can't process numbers as fast as images).

That's why I don't like digital gauges...especially trying to watch a tach hit some particular point.

BigBlock73 - that bezel looks great.

Just waitin on my billet bezel....
Oh, the fuel guage doesn't work either. I think a bad sending unit. The water temp guage isn't connected either, but it's in progress.

WHERE DID YOU GET A 3 and 3/8" Oil pressure gauge

Autometer makes 3 or 4 guages that are 3 3/8 that are liquid filled and used for racing applications.
