Rebuilding a factory clock
 

About a year ago I redid a factory clock for the 67 Gp convertible. Went with a Quartz Conversion kit. First time something with the gears was jacked up and it was slow and eventually broke. But I put a new one in and it’s still ticking perfectly a year later! They make them for almost anything out there to my knowledge.

Here’s my video testing it before putting the case on.

I could entertain doing electric clock conversions for people, but would have to figure out how much to charge.

Looking into this myself. restoring the dash,gauges,etc etc. really want my clock to work. i cleaned lubed etc and it only worked for a month or 2. How long did it take you from start to finish the first time? ps perfect working music!

Took me about an hour and a half maybe? They give you a YouTube video to watch to follow along to

Anyone ever purchased from here ?

Quartz clock kits
 

Yes, I have bought close to 100 new Quartz clock kits for GTOs and/or Firebirds over the past 30 years from that company.

Just FYI: The first old car clock that you try to do; there is a learning curve.

Plus sometimes the original GM car clocks are rusted inside, that or the set stem-gear is damaged and/or broken. After 50+ years expect that you may need 2 used original clocks to make one good working clock today, using their new kit as the movement.


Make sure you watch the instructional video first, it is very helpful.

They copied it to a DVD; that used to come inside of the box with every new clock kit but now, I guess, to save some $ the DVD movie no longer comes with the kit.

They have posted that same video on U-tube for free.

Bobs spedo has the kits. Comes with a video too.
