What's the difference between the rallye dash and normal?

The bezel, lightbar, lightbar mount, entire guage cluster, wiring harness. Basically the whole thing is different.

Could you drop either into the car or is it specific? I'd like an oil preassurrgauge in my car.

Also, in later years the resets for the trip odometer and clock moved on the ralley dash.  As you can see on my 74 they poke through the face of the gauge.  So be sure if you need to buy a new speedo or clock that you buy the right year (and the stock clocks are electromechanical and tend to need replacing).

If you look at what the rallye panels go for, you might find it more economical to add a gauge for oil pressure....If you don't have a clock, you can look at mounting it in the clock slot...or simply mounting it under the radio, or such.

I'll have to look at how it mounts but I might just make one out of steel and putt in the gauges I want

I'll also add that a 70 Challenger has it's own non-ralley cluster too. Has a ribbed design and the lettering on the gauges is different too. It's a 1 year only thing.
