I've had it connected to 12v for several hours now, seems to be keeping good time so far! got the stock movement, but they can be had in quartz also.
Got it from Instrument Services Inc. on ebay, ready to install, not a bad deal for $119

Just wanted to pass this along....

as soon as you show someone that your clock works, they'll KNOW it's aftermarket.

I always thought is was optional to have a WORKING clock, since all c3s have one but you hardly ever see one working. It's on my list of things to fix on mine, but I'll upgrade to quartz.

I replaced the stock '77 gauges with the later style where the clock was replaced with an oil temp gauge.

Some months ago I was in contact with a guy in FL about facing an 82oil temp gauge to a 68 style, he said he could do it, but haven't heard from him and I let it go.... That would have got some looks from anyone familiar with 68s
