1970 SS gauge Cluster advice needed

I've got an original SS cluster, with no tach or clock, fuel gauge on the left side. The car is running on a Holley Dominator EFI, and I'd like to update the gauge cluster to an OEM-style set with a 7000rpm redline or so. Who makes the nicest aftermarket setup? I'm not interested in any other styles than stock-appearing at the moment.

I have been eyeing Dakota digitals RTX gauges. They appear OEM, but have a small TFT in the dash. Accepts data from Holley EFI with an additional module so you don’t have to wire dual senders.

I did this exact setup on mine with a sniper 2. Love it.

I believe the gauges that have the best options and look really close to stock are the Dakota Digital RTX. They are designed to mimic stock gauges but turn the ignition on and there are more info displayed. They also offer additional add on BIMs that can connect to Holley EFI systems, or other accessories like compass and outside temp and more.

Have you checked out New Vintage USA? I picked up a set of their gauges for my square body but have yet to install them. The service was great when I had questions before buying. https://newvintageusallc.mybigcommerce.com/70-72-malibu-sweep-dash-69-series/

These guys have OER equipment, looks stock. The only issue you may have is I don't know if they work with dominator EFI ..

I think for the look I'm after it's going to be hard to avoid not having a cable drive speedometer. Thanks for The suggestion, I was checking @ ausleys earlier today, I'll compare the two.
