should I conclude something from that.

I think you can conclude that they are expensive, and that while many people wish they could use them, generally they opt for something cheaper, then always wish they could have spent that extra :grin:

 That is a very good possibility
 I had not considered that point of view

I've spoken to more than one person at car shows that have rebuilt a car and added good aftermarket gauges (autometer etc), and wished they had gone straight to a dakota digital gauges, or are planning to upgrade.

I was looking at some cheaper digital gauges (cyberdyne)  but I think if I do swap to aftermarket, I'll go with good old reliable VDO's.  Dakota would be great, but I can't justify the price. The money would be better spent on alloy heads or fuel injection.

hi All I found these  manifolds on Ebay
fit like a Glove

I am in the process of getting a Brogeson power steering box
With the removal of the power steering cylinder I should be able to lower the motor 8mm to 10 mm
 This will give more clearance in the transmission  tunnel
allow  the retention of the 9" booster.
