Dakota Digital doesn't make a gauge system to fit the 65 Buick dash so I bought a universal set that would fit. Made a panel to mount them in and moved the light and wiper switches to a new position beside the gauges. The shift position indicator was in the dash panel also so I bought a column mounted indicator from a PONTIAC. Looks factory. Had to have a drive shaft made as the stock Buick drive shaft has a rubber insert at the rear that prohibited shortening it. Installed the drive shaft yesterday and took the Buick for it's first ride. Runs and drives excellent. The LS1 provides more than enough power to be fun!! No codes and no leaks. Needs posi and more tire but is a real "sleeper"as is!!
