I had Instrument Specialties do mine 6 yrs ago and am very happy with it,be aware it is Quartz conversion and you won't have the " Tic-Toc " as the original.

I had Gary at tachman.com do mine. He did a great job!

Thank you. Is it still a Tic Toch or Quartz?

Try Redline Gauge Works

Thank you. I will check each one of them out. I would like  keep it old style, but will go quartz if necessary. I am not too concerned about total accuracy. PJ

When I got my coronet running The original clock worked as did everything else.  I liked hearing the wind up of the clock that happened to make it work.

Now It no longer winds it's self up. :eek2:

If I was moved to make it work again it would not be so I could tell time by it.  I would want it to work as designed and not use it to tell time just as in the old days.

The tac and speedo moving was all I ever remember looking at "back in the day". :lol:

What is a going price these days to make an old clock work like an old clock?---And give poor time information like it was made to do??

I think most everyone does the quarts conversion,there is not much anyone else can do other than appearance, as far as operation that you can do yourself,95% of making it work again involves oiling and cleaning the contacts.Every time the clock re winds,the contacts arc and corrode/pit over a period of time,there is no guarantee how long it will work. In the 34 years I have had my bird I did it at least 4 times,finally had it converted as I was tired removing the dash.I replaced the original in my wagon 5 yrs ago,it worked about a year and quit,they just don't last.

Thank you sir. I will take their advice. My clock works, I just need to get the tach working. I put in a Mopar electronic distributor. PJ
