I just ordered the pin connectors and I will insert them into the round mopar connector.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088MMZBRM/?tag=fabo03-20

I suppose that could work but... The factory round connector has 8 or 9 wires, only one 12 switched 12 volt in it. This new board has twice as many wires. Factories connector doesn't provide enough unused ports to accomodate all those wires. You need to get switched 12 volt to multiple instruments, switch on lighting, plus brake warning, who knows what else? I surely do not.
I know I keep the future services and future owners in mind and think my mods through. Sure, there are a couple of things I've had to redo over the years. I learned from my mistakes. Factories engineers have made their mistakes too so... Good luck with it.

The dash supplies the switched power to all the sensors, devices etc. For those that do not plug into the molex receptacle I will have to use blade connectors. I could change all the wires into a 24 pin plug to make it more clean. I will see how it looks and go from there.

I bought the 1970-1976 Digital dash kit as a Black Friday deal.

I will post my progress on this thread. I have installed the sensors and assembled the dash but I have not pulled my dash yet. Here are the progress pics.

I'm excited to see how it work Ken. Looks cool!

I've wanted to update mine, went so far as to buy most everything for a Rallye dash swap. Who know if or when I will get to it though. Excited to see how yours turns out as it might be great alternative.

I dunno, it does look a bit like dakota digital though.

I thought it might be an HDX series setup, but the digital gauges in the speedometer don't match the options available for those.
 
I just made a holder for my generic 6 gauge Intelectronics for my power wagon. It wasn't too hard and it's left room for gauges on either side as well...
Just throwing this out there for other ideas with their stuff...

Progress has been made. I finished the install of the dash. It looks great in there. IMHO. I also added a Retrosound stereo and replaced the black painted dash with a woodgrain one I got from a member here. I am not sure where I will mount the handheld for the Super Sniper EFI just yet. The empty EGR warning light is replaced with a Linelock/Roll Control Light mounted into the same socket.

Overall, I like the system but the instructions are weak. It talks about 2 gray wires connecting to a button. I have none but I have a button that is on the dash face itself. I think this is new but I cannot test them yet. Why, because I had an oops. I used the 12v switched wire from the dash wiring harness. It is not on in the accessory mode. My mistake as the instructions do say that it must be on during "on" and "accessory". You have to be in accessory mode to program things.

There is no diagram for what button is which. Sure the far right 2 buttons are hours and minutes. Then there are 2 other ones for Trip/cal and Tach that you use for calibration and setting things. I hope it makes better sense when I get the accessory mode functional.

I will take it all apart soon and make the change to the wiring.
 
What steering wheel do you have?
 
Looks good. I'm pretty sure, tho........that I'm not "into" digital tachs

That looks awesome, I wish this was an option when I did mine with all Autometer, I like your setup better and it’s like 1/2 the price of using Autometer.

Looks great, seems super bright in the pictures does the dimmer work?
 
I have it in my Duster but I find it is not wholly compatible with my HotWire efi.
