New instruments in Rally dash

[Mpdlawdog]

Those look sweet!  I have to ask what was the total cost of the gauges??? 

[crash340]

From memory the basic gauge set is $995.00, it cost me an additional $240.00 or something to have the font, lines etc changed. I just needed to add some extra line arc's under the numbers on my fuel, volts, oil and temp numbers, they look a little bland. I purchased add on temp senders for trans and engine oil as well so all up it was roughly $1400.00. BUT I also had to then get the rallye bezel and fascia from PG Classics, so throw in another few hundred as my Cuda only has the std dash. as I see it lets call it a smidge over $2K. It would have cost me that easily had I bought the OEM style gauges, but I wouldn't have all of the other additional options that the DD dash has and it all just drops into place, wire it up and done. Yep I could have bought gauges and built my own basic gauge set but I dont have that time available. Im very happy with the result. I can program the DD to tell me when I need to change the oil, I dont have to find and pay for speedo gear drives to match my diff ratio and tire combo, I will have MPH on the needles and KPH in the digital read out (we are KPH down here), I will have integral shift lights, AFR, and so on without having to clutter my dash with additional gauges, they are back-lit so I can finally see the gauges at night rather than the dim green glow

  They have a lot of cool features. As I said earlier I'm adding a GPS speedometer which is really cool.
 I bought mine from Summit Racing.

I will have MPH on the needles and KPH in the digital read out (we are KPH down here),

That's pretty cool! I asked Speedhut about if that was available when I ordered my set but it was not.I had to chose MPH or KPH 
I sure could use that feature here in Canada too.

Ken, sorry they are not the best, if you want others shout out again

Thanks Greg, they look really good. Looks like they are screen printed to me.

How does the AFR get displayed? Speedo readout? Does it work (slectable setup) with a range of AFR manufacturers or do they sell their own?
Hope they saved your custom changes so I can just ask for the Crash340 mod. Looks good!

[crash340]

Dish, all of the add on functions read out in the digital readout mostly in the Tach, some are in the speedo digital readout. They just use the normal wide band O2 sensors commonly used by aftermarket AFR gauge makers.
They should be able to replicate it, just remember to add the double line arch under the numbers on the four small gauges. Scott Johnson at DD was the guy who I dealt with.
On their website when you open the page with the dash on it, over on the right side of the page are the operating instructions which explain what shows in what ad ow etc

These look great.
Any idea how much a conversion from standard dash/gauges would run?
Guessing, need DD gauges, rallye bezel, swich plate, rallye heater controls.
Am I missing anything?

[crash340]

Fern, thats about it, you would need the Bezel and Fascia (plastic pieces, flat sheet metal and woodgrain aloy plate )

[crash340]

Found an easy access location to mount the DD ECU today, just have to run the wires and connect up others. mounted it under the steering column support above the steering column.

I would like to thank everyone on this post, I have been looking to upgrade my non rally dash to a rally dash on my 70 Cuda. every time I bid on one on e Bay I lose in the last second and they all need work. So I am going with DD I order it on Friday with a custom look. I like the look that crash340 had done on his gauges with the circles, they will add circles to the other gauges, it will take about 4 weeks. I will try to add the picture they sent me. I need help with what I need to finish the job, I think I will need the gauge housing and switch housing, rally dash bezel kit, will I need a new heater control panel and will light and wiper switch work.

I just installed my DD setup that I ordered from matts classic bowties. They are the cheapest dealer I could find. I also custom ordered mine with a carbon fiber inlay and had my dash panel wrapped in a brushed grey finish.

NICE  Bet they look even better in the flesh!

[1970340AAR]

Very nice I like it a lot, did you have a rally dash to start with. Did you get the face bezel from the same place as the gauges. How difficult was the wiring.

[danielc629]

Thank you AU6pack! Yes, they look better in person!!

1970340AAR, yes it had the rally dash to start with. I remove the gauge panel and took it to my local vinyl wrap company. It cost $60 to wrap it. The wiring was very easy. You just tie into your existing turn, brake and high beam wires. Then you run a good ground, ignition hot wire and a constant hot wire to the main unit. The system comes with new speedo, oil press and temp sensors.
