Default Setting the Clock in my 1981 Corvette

My corvette has the am-fm Stereo ETR with Cassette Tape in it and I can't figure out how to set the clock. I have my original corvette manual but not the booklet on the stereo. Any help would be great!!

Well, hello Alaska! :seeya
There are two chrome buttons on the front of the unit, one on the left side and one on the front. I think they are the SEEK and SCAN buttons. (I was just in the car, less than an hour ago, but I couldn't tell you the last time I actually looked at the radio! :crazy: ] Anyway, when you PULL OUT on the left side button, it changes the hour. When you pull out on the right side button, it changes the minutes. Good luck!

My '81 has the original analog clock with the set **** that you are supposed to just pull and twist. However, you can pull and twist all day and nothing happens. I always have to disconnect the battery and wait until time catches up with the clock. I almost never remember to go back outside and hook up the battery at the right time.
Any suggestions?

:iagree: You can set the radio presets by pulling them out too. :cheers:
