1964 clock removal

[Curt C.]

Is there a definitive place to get instructions on how to remove (and re-install) a dash clock on a 1964 roadster? Pictures are always a big plus for someone like me! Thanks for any consideration on this.

Curt;

You may get some better answers but here is what I have done on my 1963.

I take the glove box liner out so that I can reach in there from the side. There is one light bulb socket to pull out and one two prong electrical connector to remove. Once you do that, there are two spring clips that actually hold the clock in place. Push the spring end in and slide the clips off, one at a time.... the clock will then slide out from the front. Reverse the process to get it back in.

People like LI Corvette and Paragon sell replacement bulbs and spring clips just in case...

Hope this helps..

Curt, you may not need to remove the glove box, just the radio side panels (both) to get at the clips. I need to do this each time the battery is disconnected - remove clock shake and back in until the battery is turned off again.

Curt,
I agree about removing the glove box for easier access. Here's a picture of the back of a clock showing the clips etc.....to help you get an idea of what you'll be feeling around for.
