Can anyone tell me how to tell who made the clock in a 68 GTO ? I have searched in here, and nothing, I have a service manual, and a Fisher body manual, and can't find anything... I have also looked on the clock and nothing...I am wanting to upgrade it to a quartz and need to know if it a Borg or something else... I have seen where there were more than one supplier...

Thanks

Well, you probably mean just by looking at it when it's still in the dash?
Not sure if one can tell if it's a Borg movement that way but I did my 68 clock a couple of years ago (invoice was $60) by buying part from Instrument services here using their kit S-3015. It seems all the sellers sell the same unit so get it wherever.
I've attached 2 pics. With the clock in hand it's easy to see the Borg stamp on the back. I included a pic of the front too as maybe there is a slight visual detail difference if it is not made by Borg (although we're probably just talking about the guts that might be different and not the face).
I took my original one apart first with the idea of cleaning, oiling etc but after some bench testing it was too intermittent and lost 1/2 hour or more per day so I went with the quartz kit. Good luck. Easy to do by the way.

Thanks for the info, I have my clock in hand... The only thing on the back are 2 sets of numbers "1825". I think I will buy the quartz conversion kit and hope I guess..

NYtrainer, thanks for the info, I just ordered the quartz conversion kit from Instrument Services... The cost was, with DVD, $84 and that includes shipping... They also told me that all clocks for the 68 GTO were made by Borg... Maybe that info will help others.
