changed my clock over to the quartz rebuild about 2 years ago and now only the second hand works, The hour and minute hands don't move, but the strange thing is when I pull out the **** (for correcting time) both the hour and minute hands go around
Thoughts
I think you have an internal mechanism problem...pull the glove box out reach behind the clock and remove it and put a new quartz movement in and re-install..... Prob under $150 to fix..

The clutch for the minute wheel may be stuck or to loose.
If you lost the instructions on doing the conversion, I have a copy on pdf on my tech site at this link. It will tell you how to test this clutch... and possibly free it up or tighten it.. http://repairs.willcoxcorvette.com/w...ion-sheet1.pdf
From the troubleshooting guide included... Last page I believe:
3. PROBLEM: Minute and Hour Hands Will Not Turn
A. Usually this occurs because the hands are touching each other. Review the instructions for installing the hands.
B. If the hands are not touching, you have relieved too much pressure on the Minute Wheel Assembly. To correct, place the tip of the screw driver against the back of the slip clutch and press down gently at each of the equally spaced spokes to reapply more tension on the large wheel.
