I looked here and couldn't find any info. Contradicting info on the internet. If I want to change from standard gauges to rallye gauges will I need a different dash frame? I want to collect all the parts I need before I start on it. Thanks for any advice.

Before pulling apart, take as many pictures as possible to help relocate the common (gas, water etc) used gauges wire. Some gauge wires may need extended and you will need a wire for the tach. Personally I suggest that if you do extend any wiring, extend all of them (plus light bulb wires) long enough to pull gauge panel out far enough to see what is going where instead of having to lay on your back and looking up.  My back has thanked me more than once.   :D

You'll need the lower left heater control panel along side the steering column also.

Ya I think I'm missing that piece. Does anyone have a pic of one so I know what I'm looking for?

Here's a non-A/C  version

You will also need to convert your non ralley dash harness over. There is a conversion kit sold by r/t engineering that is available on ebay.

Be careful. Don't get caught drinking the Kool-Aid or believing the hype.

Hahahaha. Thanks for the reminder on the light bar Jim. I have a rallye light bar but I'll have to check it.....might be a '70 Challenger one.

E body Dash frames are the same std cluster vs rally cluster.... 68-70 B body there are lots of variations.... 68 std/68 rally-69 std/69 rally-70 std/70 rally.....  68 & 69 have the ignition switch on the dash, in 70 it moved to the column.... But from 68 to 69 the ignition switch changed & the hole in the dash frame is also slightly different.....
