I am not the best at conversations, if I talk long enough someone takes me wrong. Like when I was asking questions about my Knockoffs I made the comment. I used my rubber mallet and got nowhere. My humor is kinda off.
Does the repair that Clockworks does last awhile or just convert it to Quarts? That kit looks pretty mickeyhokey.

I have a quartz movement in mine. It has worked fine for a decade. NCRS judges would catch it, but their pencils would wear out before they got around to the clock anyway.

The repair of my original clock that was done by Clockworks only lasted a year. They only warranty their work for a year and sure enough, a couple days after a year, it broke. I took it out and put in a quartz clock that was sold by Keen Parts. Even though this clock was quartz, it doesn't have the sweeping second hand like most of the quartz clocks, the second hand "ticks." I bought it a couple years ago.

It's not in your profile, nor mentioned in your question, so I'm guessing you have a C2. You'll have to eventually tell someone what year you want if you order one. If you have a 63/64 it will be even rarer to find.

For those who want the original movement complete with the distinct second “ticks” and the once and a while “clunk” from the points winding the main spring; install a small single pole toggle switch in the “hot” wire going to the clock. This eliminates that wear and tear on the clock mechanism while your car sits undriven and also stops the current drain. The switch can be hidden behind the instrument panel.

I have quartz clocks in both of my cars and I bought them as complete units. I put my original clocks away just in case I ever drink NCRS flavored Kool Aid. I am pretty sure that the last one came from Summit. The earlier versions did sweep instead of tick, but the last one that I bought ticks. My cars are 65 and 67 so the clocks look the same. I have not seen a version for the 63 or 64 style. To me, the quartz clocks look the same as the originals except for the time. The originals were right twice each day, the quartz clocks are always right.
