Upon a lot of trying to get this huge 12.3 Holley Efi Performace screen into a 69 camaro . I am finally done . It’s made entirely of .063 aluminum fits stock steering column , it faces driver eye sight perfectly , bolts on to stock location and made to use 1969 nova dash pad which in my opinion is best looking by far.
Making a few of these $3k, $300 deposit gets you on the list. running about 6 weeks out.

Man I wish this would have been out 6 months ago before I bought the Holley can bus gauges. This looks great!

Thank you all for the compliments . I’m pretty happy with the outcome. The cluster gauge has curvature like the OEM and added as much Dept as possible but the HolleyEfi is huge and flat. So it was tough to make it look good And using that 69 nova dash pad really complimented the flow while bringing a little contrast from those sharp flat areas .

anyone have any of these in actual usage? what does it look like out in the sun? does the screen go blank, is it bright enough to see it? i have been contemplating getting this set up, just curious, because in bright sunny AZ it gets super hot in cars, and mr sun kills thing with screens.

You know Holley has put it through it’s paces used in many Baja racers etc..

freebies given to race car drivers for a weekends race doesn't really explain if a near $1500 display piece will do for 2,3,4,5, years from now in a daily driven vehicle with multiple freezing and heating cycles from mother nature.

along with that, if i hold my cell phone in direct light i cant see the screen. If i hold up my autometer gauge in direct light, i cant see it just fine.

So, just curious, in a real life daily driven vehicle, not a 5 hour race across a desert for one day, how well does the holley dash work?

What a snarky comment. I have seen countless cars now running the smaller 6.86" dashes (Pro and regular) as well as the 12.3" Pro.

I just finally picked up a pro to run with my Terminator X on my Nova.

Have you been to an LSfest or ford event lately? Can see plenty of them.

I have the 6.83" Prodash and the display works just fine in the sunlight. The have an ambient light sensor so the screen actually gets brighter as the light diminishes if you set the brightness set to auto.

No problem. You've made a very nice piece. I actually had to modify my bezel to get my 6.8 in my Cutlass.

What a snarky comment. .

apologies for seeming snarky.

Was just curious as actual usage from those who have used the digital dashes, if they are good for a daily driver.
I have seen several in cars at car shows/SEMA etc. But have never been in one driving to know if there is any loss of view due to light.

-Sorry to OP for the hijack, the dash you built is high quality, and if i owned the car, i'd buy one asap.

So does the steering wheel sit much lower then? I assume i'll need a tilt column.
