Title: Recommendation for 1969 Shelby/Mustang clock repair
Post by: TS69GT500 on June 21, 2023, 11:19:11 AM
Had the clock from my 69 GT500 repaired several years ago but it suddenly stopped working.
Orig movement not quartz conversion.
Any recommendations for mechanical repair.
Car is always garaged and there is no UV damage or fading.

Thanks,
TonyS

Sometimes if you allow the battery to go dead the clock will build up carbon on its internal contact points when the voltage dips below 12V. Regardless most likely sanding the contact points like you might do with your distributor points. In extreme cases the points will stick together. The 69 clock is large and easier to work on compared to say a 67/68 clock.
