Dolphin gauges, anyone running them?

Are they any good?

I am running a set in the 32 Studebaker. They are well lit and work fine so far. 5ooo plus miles. I did have to call to have a little help programming the electronic speedometer, but it is dead on now. [cl

I'm not as happy with mine as Hank.
I'll use Stewart Warner or Classic Instruments next time.
The tach never has been steady and reads about 500 rpm too high.
The gauge light wires are extremely small and fragile.
The price is right though.

I used speedhut in my cuda. I loved them. Great design features on the site ,and their gps -speedo is awesome...just need electrics to get it going The gauges are really flat too which is great when there`s not much room

I used a Speedhut GPS speedo on my trike and loved it. Great quality, lots of functions, dead on accuracy.

I knda shy away from electronic speedo in a classic, no real reason, just that digital stuff don't look right to me on a 70 year old truck.
I guess on the 6.2 I would have to get a tack driven off the alternator signal.

check out their website, you can design just about anything yourself

Not all electronic speedometers are digital WB. You can get them in a original looking needle and dial, only the mechanism is electronic.

Mine look like regular gauges and the speedo is run from a pulse generator at the tranny by wire.
I did just notice the odometer is digital

I'm glad you asked this question. I've got a set of Dolphin vintage gauges but none are hooked up yet. I hope I have better luck then Old Iron had. He's really savvy when it comes to all this rat/hot rod stuff.

I installed a set along with their custom dash bezel in the 42 pick up build below. To me they felt like junk but they seem to be working now for a couple years without a problem.
