66 Starfire Clock

All of the gauges work on the dash of my starfire but the clock. Has anyone fixed one themselves or have a reputable place to send it to?

I just removed mine and cleaned it up with some WD40 and it now works like a charm.

Since it is broke anyway, open it up and clean and oil it. It will take patience, a steady hand, and attention to detail. Often the old factory grease hurdens into glue, WD40 makes a great solvent.

If this does not work, than a professional rebuild might be needed. I heard of some clock places online repairing almost ANY car clock, but i cannot remember the name of the place... I think it is this one: http://www.clockwks.com/Service.html
