I know many of you have already done this. But, I'm proud Next is to actually repair it!

Andy,

Congratulations on getting the clock out.

I would recommend having Ron at Zclocks.com rebuild the clock for you.

While you have the front panel off, you could also adjust your voltmeter. Looks like it's reading high, unless the shot is with the engine running. There's two holes on the back on the back of the meter with adjusting "screws" inside, one of them has an adjustment that will move the "zero" point. I don't know what the other does, it didn't have much effect when I turned it. Set it to 12.6 (eyeball it) with the engine off. You have to turn the screw and plug it back in to see where it's reading.

Just a thought, while you're in there.

IF his engine was running when he took that picture, he has bigger problems than a mis-adjusted volt meter. (Oil pressure is at zero! )

Aside from that, I don't know that I'd advocate sticking a screwdriver into the back of the voltmeter while it's connected to the car. Add that you're not sure what the other hole gives access to.... sure fire way of finding out if there are still sparks left inside your screwdriver.

Thanks guys I am also looking into changing out the bulbs for the gauges. I'll also have a chance to get my map light and low fuel light to work again. I am actually going to repair the clock myself with a friend who is really savvy with gadgetry. I'll look into the voltage meter. Yes, the car was off
