I have a 71 Malibu 350 with the sweepstile speedometer dash. i would like to go to the SS dash with all the round bezels. If i just get the dash kit and the gauge cluster housing for the 71 SS dash is that all I need? If someone could help that would be awesome.....Thank you

I'm thinking about doing the same thing myself. From what I hear, we need the dash shell, the gauges with printed circit and the wiring harness. Good luck!

You need the works, I just finished the conversion in my '72. I bought a kit that included everything from sonnie24 on ebay. I also replaced the engine and front lighting harnesses they weren't included. There are a ton of threads on here reference this conversion.

I have some info on my dash swap on my home page (http://home.comcast.net/~dcabral99/Dash_Swap.htm (http://http://home.comcast.net/~dcabral99/Dash_Swap.htm)) that may be helpful. I went with Dakota Digital gauges, but the process is pretty much the same for mechanical gauges as long as you get the correct wiring harness.
