Dakota Digital came out the with the replacement for 66/67 a couple of years after I bought my "universal" setup from them. I have seen this in one 67 Chevelle and they really look nice. I don't have any pics or personal knowledge of the installation but if they're anything like the universal set, it couldn't be easier. There's a single control box that plugs into a wiring harness from the gauge set. Individual wires from sending units, blinkers, etc attach to the control box. One Ign Hot and one Ground from the control box and you're in business. You can even download the manual from Dakota's website. I don't think it'd be cheaper than a repo gauge set - about $200/$250 for the repo setup and $635 for the Dakota.
The ONLY problem I found was the oil pressure sender was too large to fit on the oil filter boss on a big block directly (sender is physically too large). Probably could plumb it out with adapters but that'd look shabby. There is an oil filter pressure take of at the drivers side front of the block. If it's never been out (most haven't), it's a real PITA. I had mine loosened and a new plug installed when I had the engine down for rebuilding.
