    Has anyone used the intellitronix digital 6 guage set up in 66 mustang

    Hey everyone I was browsing through new guage set ups and stumbled on intellitronix 6 guage digital set up. I wanted to see if anyone has seen them before or used them.  Looks kinda neat.  Wondering if it can go with a 6 guage bezel.

    I didn’t even know they had this as an option.

    Without needles, that would look out of place unless the car was a heavily modified restomod.  Of course, that is only my opinion.  I have the Dakota Digital VHX gauges in my '68 and they look right at home.

     

    1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.

    What year is your Mustang?  The "shape" in the picture doesn't look like a 65-66 OEM bezel. 
    This unit is significantly less costly than the Dakota Digital 'RTX' unit.

    65 Fastback, 351W, 5-speed, 4 wheel discs, 9" rear,  R&C Front End.

    This Dakota Digital VHX set is $845 but you get a lot more for the higher price:

    Hey that's what I bought! I agree good look.

    Pros:
    Looks great. 
    Fairly straight forward install.
    Tech support was good and available.  
    I setup buttons hidden under the dash for all the calibration and options which look great.
    The lighting seems just right.  Not too subtle, not over the top.

    Cons:
    Expensive.
    Never got the tachometer to work.
    The fuel gauge could never get calibrated correctly. I tried 3 different times to calibrate it on fill ups and finally gave up.  Even on a full tank it still only goes to 3/4 on the gauge.   
    I ended up buying a bud box to mount the board high under the dash.  I was able to do it, but I can imagine it would be difficult for others.
