Description
The 1949–1950 Chevy Car Direct-Fit Gauge Package by Classic Instruments integrates a complete 6-gauge instrument panel into a single, direct-fit unit designed specifically for the factory dashboard of 1949–1950 Chevrolet passenger cars. Combining a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and voltmeter, this all-electronic cluster modernizes classic dash operation while preserving the interior's original aesthetic.
Built with Classic Instruments' proprietary Zeus Speedometer Technology™ (ZST™) and a molded plastic rear housing, the cluster accepts direct signals from modern ECMs or Vehicle Speed Sensors (VSS) without needing external signal converter boxes.
Key Features & Design Highlights
Direct Dash Mounting: Mounts directly into stock dashboard openings using factory holes, supplied mounting hardware, and a paint-to-match adapter ring for a seamless fit.
Integrated LED Lighting & Dimmer: Features crisp LED backlighting enhanced by a molded light intensifier ring. Includes a built-in potentiometer on the rear housing for fine-tuning brightness.
Stealth Indicators: Built-in green LED turn signal indicators on the left and right, along with a hidden red LED Halo™ high-beam indicator at the top of the tachometer dial.
Zeus Speedometer Technology™ (ZST™): Push-button speed calibration via the included SNPB switch. Includes a built-in ECM signal filter switch for clean data processing.
Selectable Fuel Ohm Range: Built-in DIP switches allow simple pairing with factory GM fuel senders (0–30 ohm for pre-1965 GM) or popular aftermarket fuel senders (e.g., 0–90 ohm GM, 75–10 ohm Ford).
Complete Sender Pack: Includes the standard SNGM GM sender kit covering engine temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and speed sensing.
