I bought a replacement clock (quartz type) for my '69 at Corvette Carlisle a few years ago from Roger......still working excellently.

The original clock in my '68 would alternately choose to run and not run as it saw fit. I ran a separate ground wire from the clock and it has run like a champ ever since.

The alarm on my '74 works. Use it all the time. It died for about 20 years for my aunt then one day I opened the door and it went off. Has worked ever since. Sometimes I have to turn the key on and off a couple of time to get the alarm to arm. The clock in my car works every time I drive it but dies about an hour after I shut off the car.

I hate to give secrets away, but To date, I got 3 GM type clocks working for about $2.95.....providing the points and electrics are good in it, Try a shot of WD-40, it has worked and the clocks are still running
