It's gonna be a major project to install that new clock since the dash is so complicated in terms of fasteners. I found that out when installing the factory AM/FM a couple years ago.

I received the ORIGINAL invoice from Marti Auto. They have the original invoices from specific assembly lines and will sell you your original document as long as you provide them with a copy of the title or registration to prove you have the car. Look at that window sticker price: $8,585 !!!

Steve - some of the guage repair/restoration places will fix the old printed circuit boards if you can't find a suitable replacement.

I've used these guys before as they are local to me - they have my original Chevelle gas tank sending unit now for restoration. They fixed the cicuit board for the Chevelle as well in addition to numerous clocks.

if you google "automotive printed circuit board repairs" there are others that come up that me be more specialized

Clock install update: After a week or so, it's about 15 minutes fast but still ticking away! Success!

Will they self adjust if you keep correcting the time?

I thought some of the older electric ones would make respective adjustments (faster/slower) if they kept getting moved in a particular direction (forward or backwards)..........maybe an urban legend?
