Hey everyone. Still looking for some help on a few of my 82 Elky's small, mostly unimportant problems. I have the original Quartz clock on the dash by the gas gauge, but it doesn't work correctly. It works sometimes, and others it doesn't. Any suggestions? Also, not trying to sound like a moron, but I can't figure out how to set it. Everything I've tried doesn't work. Thanks so much!

I found a guy the does rebuilds and repairs for 2nd Gen. Camaro clocks very reasonable. I would think most GM mechanical clocks would be very similar. E-mail Bob Hensly @ bob@tiusa.net to get a quote. It's a whole lot cheaper than buying a replacement from Year One.

I come to the conclusion that the GM engineers designed it that way. :-D Almost every clock I've pulled has had the power wire cut off. Probably because the owners couldn't stand them anymore.
