Factory Clock repair

[TexasAg77]

Finally got around to having an aftermarket tach and a factory clock installed into the dash. Of course the clock doesn't work. Anyone have a name of a good clock repair guy, or girl? Bought this years ago off of fleabay and always liked the look of the fully loaded dash...

You can find shops around that will service them. I've heard these guys have a great reputation but have not used myself:

Thanks. I have seen different ones in mags, but wondered if anyone had first hand experience with a shop.

I actually had a terrible experience with that outfit, and will never use their services again.

I sent in both the clock and the tach from my 7 for an overhaul, and the attached pictures show what I received after they were serviced. To be fair, aside from forgetting to reattach the knob and sealing grommet on the clock set shaft before returning, it looked and worked great. Overall, I'm pleased with it.

However, the tach was a different story. In essence, I paid them to render a working tach to an inoperable and unusable status. Aside from the broken needle and lack of any cosmetic enhancements, they upgraded (converted) the internals with a modern assembly, which changed the nature of how the tach is wired into the dash harness. As many of you are aware, these tachs are designed to run in series with the distributor. They changed to work like an aftermarket autometer tach, or where you had to directly connect to the coil to operate. Furthermore, even after it went back to repair the needle, it was grossly inaccurate (installed a 4-cyl unit for a 6-cyl). Even after repeated phone conversations and returns, and additional returns, and then one more, I gave up.

Just my experience and 2cents- YMMV.

Good luck!

This guy does an amazing job with my Jeep CJ speedometers. Definitely worth a call to check on your clock.
