You're the man, that install looked so easy... It just makes me sad that I'll never be able to do it. Thanks for sharing.

Lucky, can't tell you how great it is to see you working on a Wagoneer. No Grand Wagoneer , that would be a few years later. And a clean '76 with tasteful mods like the HEI, Stereo, dash knobs, roof rack, lift lit, air intake tube, etc The Dakota Digital cluster looks great and the tach feature is a great update. This gives me a little bit more motivation to work on m current Wagoneer. Maybe you can get David Freiberger to actually work on his. Since you and Tony are learning about the AMC V-8 the project could be a Engine Masters, Hot Rod Garage, Dirt Every Day, Road Kill Extra shared project.

I'm amazed that you can now get a replacement digital dash for a Wagoneer! You know its become a popular machine to keep and restore when that happens. Don't see them much up in Canada....guess they all rusted away in the salt.

That HEI distributor us NOT stock. The '75 - '77 AMC products used a Prestolite electronic ignition system, which used a conventional cap.

I would say that rust in the top of the a pillar was caused by a windshield replacement. Alot of guys will cut into the paint and scratch it and not touch it up. Then a few years down the track you have a big rust problem.

Beautiful Wagoneer. I just passed on buying a ‘76 just like it that had sat outside for number of years but still ran and drove. I’m kicking myself for not buying it but I have too many Jeeps as it is. Does Freiburger still own the green ‘68 Wagoneer? My current project is a ‘69 that is almost identical other than coming with a different engine that year. I’m currently replacing the entire floor pan but once that’s done she just needs exhaust, tires, and some little things and she’ll be a driver. I do need to address the old seam sealer like you mentioned as well as replace the windshield seal which looks to have some minor rust under it in one spot. Just normal stuff for a 50 year old vehicle...

Most of the time they are ordered with blue, red, or white. Been a few years since I've looked at their products but you only had the option of one color. Looks like they aint changed much: www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=1048/category_id=410/mode=prod/prd1048.htm

likely not, Dakota digital has higher end clusters that can color change the lights but I don't think this one has that feature.

Why would you ruin that Jeep with a digital dash? Can't the original gauges be repaired? The last thing I would do to that Jeep is put digital gauges.
@mplante73523 жыл бұрын
some people don't care about original they want accuracy, and something more modern. original cluster didn't even have a tach or a volt gauge, unless you know where to find OE parts or can find a place that won't soak you for a huge repair bill this can be a option for somebody looking for a gauges option.
@guesswho41753 жыл бұрын
Original is great but judging that there is a baby seat this is a daily driver. Old can be repaired but now time is involved with clocking ,calibration, etc... get costly. Digital is most cost effective in this situation.
@failranch95423 жыл бұрын
Agreed. I would have kept the originals. I do have to admit though, it looked a lot better than I thought it would. 8k tach might be just a tad bit optimistic.
@mplante73523 жыл бұрын
@@failranch9542 Depends what you want and like, I redid my trucks cluster with autometer cobalt gauges, wanted something more accurate and like blue. stock cluster was horrible low and high for oil pressure cold or hot for temp and volts was 8-18 no numbers in between, speedo was jumpy, and I didn't even have a tach, plus I am planning a hi po engine swap so it made sense to upgrade.

How about an actual tutorial instead of just saying a bunch of shit with all that background noise and what did you do to get power after taking out the old guages ? Dakota digital gives zero information about the jeep wiring and neither have you.
