I am thinking of purchasing a repro dash carrier/bezel from a well known vendor and was noticing that it has no badging/emblem in the middle above the steering wheel where the tach would normally go for an SS model, I have a malibu sport coupe and my original dash has the word CHEVELLE cast/molded iinto it,does any one sell an emblem for this? I called the vendor that sells them and they dont know,from the pic online the repro dash looks like it has 2 small holes where the emblem should be,has anyone had to deal with this?any suggestions?Thanks as always.

The bezel comes with a little plastic Chevelle emblem that uses those two holes to mount it. I just installed one in my 68. Bought it from Ausleys.

Thats great! Is it similar to the original or what does it look like?

 

[HiFire]

I think it turned out great. My original one was hacked up and badly repainted. I also replaced the lenses for the gauges at the same time. I'll try to post a picture in the next couple of days. Kids are out of school so the Chevelle is off limits for a little bit.

I would like to see some pics to let me see what to look forward to, I appreciate the info....

Here's some pics of the dash. you'll notice that the Chevelle name plate is missing from the bezel. I didn't notice that i forgot to install it until i took these pics.http://s739.photobucket.com/user/HiFire_photos/media/DSCN1218_zpsa98a8829.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2

Nice looking car . How does it fit? I'm thinking about buying one for my 68 chevelle

 

[HiFire]

I'm happy with the fit. I had no problems mounting the bezel, switches and cluster. I definitely recommend the bezel if you need a replacement.:beers:

I did the Ausleys repop dash panel and the Shiftworks 69 type tach conversion at the same time and it came out SVWEEET!!!

It comes with the Chevelle emblem, but you have to install it.

 

[elektryc102]

Just checked out the Tach conversion kit, it looks fairly simple,have you tested the Tach out yet? does it work good?

 

[HiFire]

I installed the shift works tach also. Hooked up to the tach terminal on the HEI distributor, power, and ground. You can see it in the first picture that I posted of my dash. Easy install and works great.

It works great and confuses alot of people who know a little about Chevelles. It is all electronic except the oil guage. I ran a 1/8 copper tube off the side of the block for it. They give yoy nylon, don't do it. Copper doesnt wear and spray oil all over you

I just went back and looked at you dash pics and didnt even notice the Tach until now,I guess I am just used to seeing a clock there,but it looks great and is a great alternative to a Tach on the steering wheel or elsewhere,I never knew the Tach and gauge package existed until now,but i will be installing the Tach package with the new dash carrier,Thanks guys.....
