69 Barracuda Clock
That is good information. Now I may not even use my clock.:banghead:
It was said that Henry Ford's father was a clock maker and considering the performance of the clocks in old cars it's a good thing Henry maded cars instead.
You may also find this interesting.. These clock have a little set of points inside. When these contacts touch current causes the one moving contact to jump away which causes a pop noise as it operates a ratcheting mechanism to wind the clock. It will run for about 3 minutes as the contacts slowly close then you'll hear the "pop" again.
Corosion from moisture stopped the clocks in old cars. Sometimes a simple cleaning and oiling would make them run again.
The clock I have with quartz controlled movement still has that mechanical wind mechanism inside.
ne more thing since I'm on a roll...
The ebay listing stated there is a contact for the clock in the panel.
That's both true and false. The factory added the clocks 12 volt supply onto the red post of the amp gauge. Imagine full system voltage jumping through those contacts and no fuse protection other than the fusible link.
