Rally Clock usual culprits

[jlemler]

I have a 1970 Cuda rally dash.  The clock isn't working.  I was wondering what are the usual culprits of this malfunction?  It has power but no go.  Are there somethings I can try before taking it out and sending for repair?

Thanks, Jeff

I can't answer your question but what I can tell you is when I had my gauges restored, they told me the quartz conversion was the way to go. Most have done this and haven't looked back. If I recall, you can source a kit for around $100 and be done with it.

Take it apart & clean & lubricate it the contacts point sneed to be cleaned also

Just another clock option.
I have an OER clock that keeps good time and retains the tic, tic Quartz second hand movement.

Ha, ha: This reminds me of when I owned the pink Challenger in the 80's. One day the clock quit, after much research I found a place that could fix it. I called them and shockingly he knew that it was going to cost exactly $50 to repair it. I thought that a bit strange but pulled it out, sent it away and got it back a month later. I installed it and it worked, I bet they cleaned the contacts, lubed it and sent it back just as CP says to do.

I put this kit in .

Save yourself some cash if keeping it 100% oem is not an issue

Replace the guts with a 3035 kit. The original internals are not worth prolonging in my opinion.

Also, the tabs that need to be bent back can only be done a few times before breaking off. I've done 3 of those "3035" conversions and as a precaution always cut extra tabs on the cover just in case. If you're going to open it up, youi might as well do as suggested and convert it (if, as said, 100% oem isn't important).

Look on youtube, GYC has a video of repairing a E-body clock and how to take it apart.

Do you know if it's a quartz movement or a mechanical movement.  I've never seen a quartz tic off each second like the originals did only seen them make a continuous sweeping movement around the dial.

I have to say those stock clocks are of excellent size. I have made quite a few 0-60 runs etc. viewing the second hand for a rough idea. It was better than nothing for practicing launch techniques on the street.
