I originally ran the 5 inch autometers in the stock bezel. Recently I just changed to the Covans setup, much better. Got an awesome deal on Autometers from Frank at GPsuperstore.com, saved over $100 compared to Summit and Jegs for all of the gauges! Let me know and I can send you some pictures of both setups.

I was thinking about going with the 2 5inch tach to put in the cluster.

Here they are:
1st, ultralite's 5" and 2 1/8" in dash and console.
2nd, Ultralite II's in a covans dash 3 3/8 and 2 1/8 day
last, Ultralite II's in a covans dash night shot.

130fe, the smaller gauge size in the Covan's doesn't bother you? I was thinking about the Covan's too, but I'm a little worried that the tach will seem a bit small.

Ok, that is great. I saw the new 5" autometers with similar layout, but those just look 10x better. All my info right in front of me, love it.

I've never even heard of these before.

This is what I want.

Wait, no tach. Nuts. That is perfect, too.

Wait, under the 1967-68 Camaro Package (http://www.classicinstruments.com/index.aspx?documentID=camaro1) link I see this:

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif
Part Number: GSCAM67

That is exactly the look I want. To a tee. How exciting, I just moved one thing from the 'need to decide' list to the 'need to buy' list. LOL

i went with dakota digital

1-not as much of a hassel to hook up and look awsome, also they are very easy to read while driving,not to mention other functions like being able to get engine codes,trip meter, etc...

2. and the main reason dakota digital have a lifetime warranty and autometer is only 1 to 2yrs cant remember off the top of my head

I have sold and installed a bunch of the Covan's and it looks very good, but it really rocks with the 5" gauges and the center dash panel w/ 2 5/8". I will try to find some pics of ones I've installed.

The Classic Instruments are amazing! I want a set for the Patriot Dream car. Those things are killer.

I have a question on the Classic Instruments guage cluster, what do you do for the turn signals? are they built in like the stock ones? Is anyone running this setup that can chime in?

Has anyone actually installed one of these Classic Instruments gauge sets in their camaro and if so what was their experience, in terms of ease of installation and fit and finish. I am considering the same set for my 67 using stock wiring harness and want to know if it is worth the price.

Here is a pic of my dash before it was complete, better pics in my update thread that happen to be in my laptop and I am on my desktop right now.

The Racepak setup is about twice the price as what some good setups cost but you get 10 times as much, some of which you may never use but most of which you would always want. It was a hard choice but the tech service is outstanding and they are very understanding to those who take a long time to complete their kit. I will never regret the choice.

I've had a few questions similar to this. Not trying to hi-jack the thread but I'm going to ask them. Has anyone on here put only a speedo and tach in the guage pod and then put the rest of the guages on the consule? If so do you have pictures? I have been thinking this would look very good. If you have tried it and it didn't work out for any reason please let me know also. Thanks.

Im having the same issue...I like the classics instrumens but I still think ill go with dakota digital.. i bet they would look amazing at night, ill try to get a classic digital radio with with same colored letters ( one of those new classic repro radios )...

If anyone has done this it would be nice to see some pics!

I've done this, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODXoSHowgoQ

I put in the Dakota Digital, then later modified the Dakota and added my own touch by adding the Analog LED sweeps around the Digital numbers, take a peek.
