Summit racing digital gauges
Summit racing digital gauges SUM-800600. Anybody using or ever seen these in person ? Price is right and would fit perfect in the dash of my 71 Cutlass so I'm kinda interested, I know it's nowhere near the quality of Dakota digital so please let's not got there.

Summit gauges I got the 6 gauge set but mine is sort of oval shaped, easy enough to wire and looks pretty good. Speedo is within 1 mph at 70, the only extra thing I had to do was wire in a 680 ohm resistor to get the tach to work as per lt1swap.com instructions. Tach only reads 100 rpm increments. Turn signals are pretty cool it's a sequential line at the bottom. Haven't used it yet for this but it will give you 0-60 1/4mile and top speed.

Gauges Mine is summit brand, I bought it about 6 months ago or so, I think I paid about $275. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-800601/overview/ One that was square would have been a lot easier to mount. Cutting an oval shape into a dash with a bend was a pain in the ***. To mount mine I cut away a section of the original gauge face surround then mounted the gauge to a piece of sheet metal that I then screwed into the original surround screw holes. I used the original dash plug and used the circuit board as a template for what wire controlled what gauge. Hope this helps

Gauges I like it, the only thing negative I can say is that the speedo seems kind of slow at lower speeds. Everything else seems pretty accurate. Temp shows outside temp on first start, voltage changes when fans/windows are on/used, oil rises with rpms. Fuel gauge indicates the same as the old one as well.
