Intellitronix digital dash install.
I bought one of these for my 1979 f-150.

My dash lights didn't work and speedo was off due to to trans and tire diameter change. I didn't feel like messing around or putting money into the stock stuff. This gauge cluster fixes both those problems and makes speedo calibration as easy as pressing a few buttons. There was a bit of a mix up on sending me the correct directions, their tech line was helpful. Temp sensor read a lot higher than what my Fitech reads at. I called them and they sent me a new temp sender, it's better but still off from the Fitech. Not a huge deal for me, probably still more accurate that the factory temp gauge. Wiring wasn't a problem after I got the correct directions. Speedo cable gets replaced with a sensor that goes in the trans, wires run up to the dash. I haven't calibrated the speedo yet. I'm waiting for brake parts to replace defective stuff from Jeg's. I drove around about a week with the gauge cluster in and I like it quite a bit. Might get another for my bronco. I'll add a few more pictures.
Wiring all labeled nicely.
I thought I had a completed install picture. I can add one tomorrow.

Jegs is the worst! Every order I've made with them took 7+ days to process. And then they used Fedex, even after I requested they use UPS or USPS. Fedex in my rural area is like a black hole staffed by drunk monkeys

X2 on this.... Even in NJ they are hit and miss, they must have some alliance with the post office. Sometimes they drop packages at the local post office and they finish the delivery route. I could see if I live in the backwoods but I live on a County Road???? I always request UPS for big stuff.

The brake proportioning valve replacement I had ordered from Jeg's came today on time. I don't have an issue getting stuff from them on time. I do agree about the Fedex statements though. We get packages at my work from UPS and Fedex daily, UPS drivers are the same for years, We get a new Fedex guy every six months it seems. UPS is union and well paid, Fedex not so much.
The dash is a little slow as far as the speed keeping pace with the readout. Guess you could call it laggy. It takes a couple seconds for big changes to register. Like abrupt stops for a red light or heavy acceleration. RPM display is rounded up to hundreds. A picture of everything buttoned up. Overall I'm happy with it. Looks good and was cheaper than piecing together a bunch of aftermarket gauges. The little black switch/button on the left of the column is for calibration and other features like setting your odometer to read the same as the dash you took out.

I don't know anything about these particular gauges (I have Dakota Digital) but it looks like the MPH is strictly the digital readout in the center and the RPM readout is the circular range you can see partially lit with the four individual segments currently lit up in the pic.
That right Ralph?

I have the RPM's shown two ways in my pictures. The 900, and the squares going over the MPH, which is zero in the pictures. You can configure it so that the numerical readout(900 in the picture) is an odometer or trip odometer too.

This dash will also do performance data like 1/4 mile times and stuff like that.
