1970 GTX Tach and Clock won't work.

Anyone have a procedure to try to fix them before I send them out. Don't care about the look as the instrument cluster looks good, just want it to function properly. Everything else works fine and I have an electrical engineer who can fix anything.

Thanks

The best bet on the clock would be a new quartz movement, I can repair the clock if you dont want a quartz movement. on the tach you could install a new tach board from RTE. have you checked the wiring to the tach and clock?

If you have converted to an electronic ignition, the tach might not work. Either have a gauge restorer convert the tach, or add a Tach Adapter. Otherwise, your only alternative is to have one of the many gauge restorers perform their magic.

Beekeeper. I'd like to keep it original if I could. Is the new Tach from RTE easy to install? I'm not a mechanic, but I can follow instructions. I'm not sure where to start with wiring?? Sorry again not a mechanic, but I can read if there are instructions.
Vermont Rock it's a Six Pack.

I sent out my gauges for restoration to a place in. Minneapolis. I had the repainted turned out very nice - they also recalibrated for electronic ignition. Since then I've had nothing but trouble trying to get everything to work in concert. It's frustrating cause I paid a lot of good money to have this done. I'd not have that done again.

If you can solder you can do it. it comes with instructions and is fairly simple
to do. You can go to rte.com and look at the instructions for the tach board.
