...I'd still like to have a nice working clock. With the car having the large tach and small clock, it's been easy installing several clocks to see if they work. I finally got one to light up with the other gauges when i swith in the dash lights by replacing the bulb in the clock, and after giving the clocks 12v from the battery found that only one works. The harness was tested and it is also ok. So, the clock lights up but is not keeping time. The three wires are the ground-black, a hot-green and a hot-red. It is the hot red that powers the clock, the green for the light. I suspect that the problem is in the circuits of the tach, but the tach works just fine.

Now i know it's only a clock, but the one on my radio is hard to see down low, and a broken clock seems to make the car seem less dependable/ weaker than we all know it really is. Would it be easier to put in a tach from the junk yard and replace it or is there another wire that i can easily spice into? If i replace the tach, do i have to get a specific one for my 84 turbo 245tic? If i splice into a wire, wich one do i use since the clock must get power all Of the time? Any help with such a trivial but important-to-me function would be appreciated. This may seem entirely ironic considering i'd rather fix this clock than the speedometer taht only reads between 20mph and 55mph on my mothers 86 240. At least in her car i'm never speeding down the interstate...from the intrument cluster's point of view!
