Default Factory Clock

I've heard that the clocks are notorious for not working.
My new '79 is no exception.
Is there anything that can be done with them?

I heard there are quartz movements for them, but they are kind of pricey.

I have a 78 and clock didn't work, I bought one of those quartz replacment kits and installed it myself and it works fine. Cost about 60 bucks

Yup - just saw tehse in the catalog yesterday (ZIP or Ecklers - forget which).

They had 'original' movements for $50, and quartz for $60.

If you don't want to do it yourself, Clocks by Roger will do it for just over $100. He does good work.

Wanna hear something wild. Just bought my '71 vert last Friday & the original clock not only still works, but it's keeping good time!
