I have.
Never did get around to getting the clock working but I replaced the tach board.
The clock is in a separate housing under the tach guts. It's worth it to take the rear cover off, just to get a look. Clock was too daunting for me.

I disassembled mine far enough to clean everything up and repaint the hands. It went back together okay and the clock works. Waiting on the tach harness, so I don't know if it works. Crossing my fingers.
hope it works for you.

I pulled one apart about 20 years ago. Installed a quartz movement for the clock, as my colleague said rewinding the original armature would be too fiddly. Tach was fine, and I merely adjusted the zero stop position. Be careful with the oil you choose to lube the clock - fluff could be trapped in the gears. I only found my old parts last week...and repacked them. There are quite a few gears in the clock.
Here are a couple of pictures I took about 20 years ago.
See the brown mark - that's where the coil burns out on all of these clocks.
kiwigtx how do you take the arms off the clock to pull it apart? Also were did you buy the circuit board for it. I googled and cant seem to find the clock board.

It was about 20 years ago...but you can carefully pull on the hands of the clock. I had a Quartz movement put into my unit. After I saw how bad the coil was, I decided to leave it alone....and get a Pro to do the job. Most jewellers or Clock repairs shops should be able to help out with that. I went to a local specialist in Automotive Instruments....but there are other options.

There is a MoPar clock shown in the video on the link above...so it probably would be OK to contact them to confirm which clock you need.
