I thought that I would share this in the event someone wants to try to revive there dead clock in their Camaro.

My clock hasn't worked since I don't know when. The second hand had also worked its way off the stem and has been laying in the bottom of the housing for years. I had considered doing a quartz conversion so decided to open it up and inspect it. I removed the clock from the tach housing and decided to try to get the original one working before doing the conversion. After some cleaning the contacts with a contact file and the gears with an electronic contact cleaner, I followed up with some Pene-Lube and put 12 v to it. Fifty-eight years later it's running like a clock again. I also cleaned the contacts that winds it every couple of minutes.

I'm no expert but am a little confused with this one. TT states Z11 and is also stamped (69) Cortez Silver. Gauge package but no tach and a 10 bolt.

I did a search and it was back 8-9 years ago with no updates. Mine is cracked and if I was to have it restored (if there is anyone that would) I would want it with the original grooves on the 2/3 of the wheel. For now I put a N34 walnut wheel on it but would like to have the correct one on it. I saw one restored one through a vendor for like $1.499...

Has anyone found someone that does this?
