The Chevelle, Monte Carlo and El Camino of the early 70s are among the most popular GM A-bodies ever produced, and when ordered with the Super Sport (SS) performance and appearance option packages, those three vehicles represent some of the most desirable and valuable muscle cars ever produced. When it comes to restoring and upgrading any of these great early 70’s classics, it is not surprising that many owners would prefer to fit their cars with SS option parts. Thanks to the availability of the Original Parts Group, Inc. (OPGI) Super Sport Dash & Gauge Conversion Kit, it’s now possible to replace your standard 1970 to 1972 Chevelle, Monte Carlo or El Camino dashboard with a complete, factory-accurate, reproduction SS-style dashboard.
The kit provides everything you’ll need to complete the entire SS dash conversion in one convenient package that replaces the entire dashboard including all of the instrumentation, the glove box, ashtray, air-conditioning vents, all related wiring harnesses and more. The conversion dash kit replaces the standard wide “sweep-style” speedometers that lacked a tach, with the distinctive SS-style round speedometer and tachometer gauges, and the tachometers are offered in two different versions to cover cars with both 5500 and 6500 RPM limits.
Whether you own a Chevelle, Monte Carlo or El Camino with a small block or big block, equipped with a manual, standard automatic, or TH400 transmission, the OPGI premium reproduction dash assembly kit is identical to the original factory Super Sport equipment and ready for easy installation in all 1970 to 1972 models.
The complete OPGI Super Sport Dash & Gauge Conversion Kit includes:
*Dash housing assembly
*Glove box door
*Ash tray
*Lower steering column cover
*Instrument cluster lens
*Plastic gauge housing
*Metal gauge backing
*Printed circuit board

*Tachometer
*Amp gauge
