Good to hear it's fixed, and another great write up that will help someone else with this problem.

The Evolution continues.......When the car was finished 5 years ago, I installed the Dakota Digital Instrument cluster available at the time......As with everything, product development moves on....Since then they have developed and improved their product.........they also came out with a module that plugs into the OBD plug and feeds all the info to the cluster from the ECM directly.......Pretty neat stuff......Here are the latest changes.......

MUCH better Ken, I never liked the 1970's Timex digital watch look

Nicely done'
Cheers

You have to admit that look WAS cool... in 1970. Hahaha.

I like the VHX gauges much better than the old stuff too, they're on the list of parts for my car.

Big improvement.

I like the new gauges, they make some really nice dashes.

the best never rests... them are cool

Been a couple of years since posting about this "Beater"....... The car has been absolutely trouble free except for a Alternator going bad..... 38,000 miles of great driving across the country in various Road Tours...... So, yesterday I went out to the Drag strip to watch friends race and at the last minute I decided to just run it down the track..... Had the trunk loaded and just left everything in and ran it down the track....... 12.53 @ 114 mph with a 2.1 second 60' time....... LOL.... These engines are crazy...... and I get 23 MPG on the highway.....Awsum for a street car

That's fantastic, Ken! Really happy to hear the car has worked so well for you.

Thats funny Ken. I'm just glad you didn't road course it or auto-x with stuff in the trunk. I wouldn't know anything about that LOL.

Is the GG road trip still on for you guys?
I pulled my app, not because of Covid but because of timing, and I will miss it for sure!

The G-G tour was cancelled but we are going on the Barrett-Jackson tour with Ed..... Starts Oct 7th Atlanta to Key West......
