tic toc
how do you adjust the speed of a clock. ive have taken mind apart thinking it would only need setting by turning a screw on the clock. only to find out it's a sealed unit. 67 camaro rs clock is in a cluster with fuel, temp, and battery.
thanks for any help

Thanks Thro but swapping it out for a quartz clock is not a option. As I want to keep it original so I may have to live with it. Though I will keep trying until all avenues are exhausted
There is a conversion kit available to change it over to quartz. You can't tell the difference from original unless you take it out of the dash. It's that or live with an inaccurate clock.
The kit I got is made by Instrument Services Inc. phone # 800-623-2993
part #T-3025 If you're mechanically inclined it's not that hard to do, if not, buy one or send it off to have it done.

The quartz movement will have a smooth second hand unlike the solenoid original which will step the second hand. A common cause of failure with the solenoid type is caused by undervoltage especially if stored. The clock has two solenoids which alternate energization though a set of points and rocker cam. When the voltage drops too low (or a mechanical binding in the clock) the one solenoid remains energized without enough voltage to draw the armature but still drawing current from a 10 amp fused source until enough heat builds up and burns the winding. A tip to prevent this is to install a 2 amp quickblow inline fuse to the clock. Better to replace a 50 cent fuse than a 189 buck clock.
