You can put a fresh air vent in there, gives a great blast of air on a hot day.

1. Water temp gage? Oops never mind, it's a air blower.
2. How about a battery 12V voltage thingy. That is useful.

I replaced my redundant POS VDO clock with a CHT gauge.

Just plug it! I added a little Pelican sticker for good measure...

just remove all the workings from the clock, cut a plain ol black face and insert it in the bezel...now you have a clock delete.

The tech articles are for the early (electrically wound mechanical) clocks I think. Mikey's is probably the modern quartz type.
You can probably find a replacement used from the usual suspects. Years ago I got one at Pomona for $20...

Chuck,
There must be some kind of mistake. Must be the glare...I cleaned up the pic a little and it is defenitely glare.

The clock in my '86 is still going strong. I wonder how many 1980's non-VDO car clocks are still going these days?
Now the digital one in my 944, that's a POS. -Chris

You had a working clock??? I'm jealous!
Delete clock for weight savings. Should equal at least two horsepower!
