I have a stock 77... and the clock has a mind of its own. Sometimes it works for days... and then there is the rest of the time when I have to keep adjusting the clock to the correct time... (this is not my biggest problem). Has someone had this prob and fixed it without having to go out and get a new clock.

When they get to that condition, they are usually terminal. You might get a couple years by taking it off and cleaning the mechanism and oiling it with clock oil. Don't use WD-40, it will work for a while, then the carrier will completely dry and leave a gummy residue.
But if you go to all that trouble you would probably be better off sending the clock in for repair, or replacing the guts with a Quartz movement. All the Corvette parts dealers sell them.

I gave up on the mechanical guts also and went with quartz. Except for the way the second hand moves (jerks, not smooth) you can't tell the difference. Well, except now it keeps time and works..... And some may say you don't need one if you have replaced the radio with a new one that has a digital clock then you can put a meter, of some sort there. I still have the original radio (updated internally) without a digital front so I fixed the clock.

Thanks for your suggestions.. I will soon be diving into the dash and center console to locate the problem with my ac doors. while I'm in there I will work on the clock .
