For a clock. I'll probably take mine apart to see if simple cleaning or dressing the points will get it going but slim chance of that. Anyone seen a parts house or repair business that offers a quartz conversion kit for do-it-yourselfers?

Sorry I cant answer the question

So I'll just follow along to see what info you come up with

I have the factory console mounted tach in mine that is HOPELESSLY optimistic in regards to accuracy.
I keep thinking about having it redone or just convert it to a clock instead
 
You talking about a tach or a clock? A watch maker/jeweler if it's a clock.

I did it to my 66-300's clock, not that hard of a swap out. I used these guys as they were close to Chicago when I still lived there. You just gotta find out what kit you need. Good Luck

I did stumble across them but I couldn’t figure out the kits either. Guess I will have to call them if no one else knows.
 
I did a 1959 El Camino clock. Easy, straightforward and just had to drill a small hole in the PCB with a dremel.

I use the rt-eng.com tach driver PCB. It has a calibration routine built in. You can get accuracy at 1000 and 4000 RPM. Anywhere else and it's a bit off. I have videos on my tach conversion I can send you. I can also do your conversion on my bench if you'd like.
 
I contacted Instrument Specialties, they made a conversion kit for my 1969 standard, non-ralleye clock for $79 ( I think)... took me about 20 minutes to watch their video on their website and about an hour to install. I have the clock powered up and running on my workbench for about a week and it has kept perfect time.....very easy to do!
 
Here's the kit I used for my '66 Coronet. It's worked perfectly for several years now. Just follow the video, no problem.

I just dug through my car file and found the receipt for my 66-300. Mine is also the S-3015 unit, I paid a whooping $44 for it back in Feb. of 97. Tx & shipping totaled it to $55. Cheap stuff! Good Luck
 
Great - thanks guys. Looks like kit S-3015 from Instrument Specialties is what I need.
