:cross-eye scanlon after you broke the cable and went through all the trouble to remove hood why did you close the damn thing without attaching a new cable and you said your self you did this twice??? :stupid: bambikiller you dont need to have the cable hanging down under the car , just put the loop thru the dash where you can reach it from the drivers side ( needs to be on that side so the pull is from the correct direction) that is if you are driving a left hand drive car.:classic:

Then it's not original.

I've got my eye on this...

Easier to just leave dangling in engine compartment than to hassle with routing through firewall. Only needed for emergency use, so only worth minimal effort.

PS: I'm LAZY! (and don't want to add another hole in firewall)

I went from easy to hard and eventually it took taking the whole hood off to get to the engine...anyway, getting a new spring, etc off ebay for it so i wont have to go thru the trouble again...anyway thanks guys, you all rock....peace

My clock works, and is 31 years old. Was repaired in 1982-3.

Runs great, just gains about 15-20 minutes a day. It sat long enough this time to be only 43 minutes LATE this am. that is 23hours and 17 minutes fast actually.
