    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    Now I am almost fully titled towards the Dakota, are you saying the light colors have to be pick out at purchase? I am not expecting much help from the Summit phone people on that. (I am not picking on them, they are nice and mostly helpful)

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    I would like to get back to my dead dash. (I have no electricity anywhere in the car, I do have a flip switch to the hot side of the coil and a push button starter so it runs) On page 8-133 of the Plymouth shop manual I see a wire from the battery labeled A1A10R going to a 4 wire block which I...

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    Thank you very much for the wealth of information, I have decided on a Dakota or a whole drop in dash as my dash pad is cracked. If I just do a Dakota do I still have to pull the windshield?

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    I had a shop do all the work so far, bought almost all parts from Summit or Jegs. I found their prices to usually be a bit less than elsewhere plus buy $100 or $200 and get free shipping. I like the Summit search feature much better than Jegs for my specific car, so Summit was alway my go to...

    FYI, Dakota has them at $1,100.00 for the one in the link above and others at $1,800.00 for B-Bodies, just spent time looking at all of them.

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    Bought all the parts, another funny story, kind of, because of the crazy metal shortages/supply chain issues during 2021/2022 one rail is an AMD the other is a Sherman (Suprisingly both appeard to be of equal quality). The right trunk pan is a long one that was cut down as the length was not...

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    I loved your story, my trunk pans looked worse than yours, once we removed the trunk pans we saw the rot that could not be seen from above or below by our untrained eyes (My general mechanic friend and I) then once we got into it, the sub frame needed to be replaced, kind of a funny story, my...

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    Builderguy I really like your idea but for the same amount of money I can get the Dakota dash with senders, I have chased down so many sender/gauge issues with having no change/results. At my age I need to get this going forward :)

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    I really like the Dakota digital option pnora, My big worry would be after getting power to the gauges I would have to deal with each gauge reading high or low as is so common with older original gauges, having to chase down issues between senders and the original gauges, never really getting...

    1970 Plymouth dash dead/looking for modern replacement gauges

    I searched this forum and have my factory manuals, I have not found an answer to my question(s). My dash is dead and dash pad is bad, So i will have to pull the whole thing. My question, what is a good/great aftermarket gauge package? I know the original gauges can/are really out of wack and...
