Classic Instruments is pleased to announce the release of its 1966-67 Chevelle direct-fit cluster!<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This all-electric direct-fit cluster features a speedometer and tachometer, and fuel, oil, temperature, and volt gauges in one of four available styles and arrives ready to install directly into the stock dash of 66-67 Chevelle\u2019s.<\/p>

The assembly features Classic Instruments\u2019 ZST\u2122 meaning it works directly with ECM or VSS signals requiring no additional control boxes. The turn signals and high beam indicator are in the stock locations plus a built-in shift light and warning light which all utilize LED lights for bright, even illumination. Everything needed to install the package is provided in the kit including all necessary sending units. The cluster is designed to reuse the stock fuel sending unit or any aftermarket fuel sender (purchased separately) thanks to a built-in ohm range selector switch.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

Whether you want to freshen up the stock look of your dash or go with a complete custom assembly to make it your very own, Classic Instruments \u201966-\u201967 Chevelle direct-fit cluster offers the perfect seamless installation you desire.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

One of the first decisions Classic Instruments\u2122 made as a new company in 1977 was whether to continue the time-honored tradition of building mechanical gauge movements or step forward into the world of electronics.<\/p>

Classic Instruments\u2122 made that decision by determining to utilize the very latest technology in computer chips, servo motors, solenoids, remote sensors, and all the other components that are common-place today!<\/p>

To make that decision was difficult in one respect. How do we convince generations of hot rodders and car-builders that electronics were the way to go? The first challenge to unravel was\u2013just how did mechanical gauges get the reputation for accuracy and durability that they enjoyed?<\/p>

Classic Instruments\u2019 quickly found that\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>
  1. Mechanicals had been the \u201conly game in town\u201d for decades<\/li>
  2. Mechanicals were used by the competitive race car drivers and owners<\/li>
  3. The perception was that mechanical gauges were more accurate than electrical instruments!<\/li><\/ol>

    This translated, at least for Classic, that \u201cYes-mechanicals had been the only game it town\u201d, and \u201cYes-they were being used by the best race drivers out there\u201d, and \u201cYes-they did appear to be more accurate than the electrical instruments that were available!\u201d<\/p>

    \u201cThe only game in town\u201d was true until the technology and know-how in remote electrical sensing became available and affordable, as it did in the 1970\u2019s!<\/p>

    \u201cThe race drivers and mechanics all used mechanicals.\u201d This is another true statement because quality electrics were not yet available, and because most race cars didn\u2019t even carry a battery. Remember the over-sized external rotary starters the pit-crews used to shove into the noses of the cars to get them started\u2013and the magnetos that were used instead of a \u201cbattery-powered\u201d ignition system!<\/p>

    \u201cYes, mechanicals did appear to be more accurate,\u201d another true statement at the time! Since the mid 1970\u2019s, gains in electronic technology, component costs, and assembly methods have made electronic instruments available at a reasonable price and with an accuracy and reliability that rivals even the most expensive mechanical units.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
