I have a 69 Mach 1 original tach in cluster and like to keep things original but I have made some modifications which I will list:  

* converted existing tach with rocketman www.RCCInnovations.com. Luckily I was able to buy one cheap on ebay and converted that. what he does is replace the guts but face is the same.
* got the console pod and installed voltmeter and oil pressure it in the ashtray which is where the shelby's had them.
* for voltmeter i just tapped existing wiring that was nearby the console
* mustangs have the oil pressure sensor made for dummy lights. so i had to replace with oil pressure sensor made for gauge.
* clock stopped working but i found a place where you can buy remanufactured original guts if your willing to take that apart. 

Let me know if you have questions? rob

Mission Accomplished!  thanks for the advice. My pics posted for the next guy. Yeah had to open the slots with some screw drivers

Sooo... the first layer of graffiti is legal, but the second coat is a violation of the law. Hmm... who'd a thunk?

Something like the picture below.  I took a small rectangle plate and made a slit so it would fit under gear (with sprint pushed back). Then added a sheet rock screw to tip so point was small enough to press against gear post.  It came out by twisting the gear puller by hand. To put it back on, you simply put a small socket over it and tap it with small hammer.  see mustang360 article http://www.mustangandfords.com/how-to/interior-electrical/75658/photo-24.html

hi bigmal, you have to pull the little gear off the clock wet pin (see photo).  I used a ball joint puller and rigged it so it would fit the small gear. some people say to use long nose pliers but i was skeptical that I would break it.  
 


 

I finally got my clock ticking again. After removing my clock to check out why it wasn't ticking, i notice the contact broke off but that was 1 of 2 issues. I ended up soldering it on after 1000 attempts only to find out that the solenoid was burnt out. I found a company that makes the original electromechanical kit and replaced the guts with NOS. I am a stickler for originality and didn't want to convert to quartz.  I'll point out a few things that I'm sure will help the next guy.  The clock set knob does not come off.  I had to take off the sprocket (cog gear) by using a gear puller. Made a small plate with a slit to fit behind the small sprocket and attached a screw to the point of the gear puller so it would fit the tiny post on the gear. Then after a few steps i pulled the guts and replaced them.Kit cost $85 which was well worth it consider broken clocks are going for >$150.  anyone needing advise can reply. thanks

yes but instructions are on paper. The site has a video that helped with all but the set knob removal.

My 69 Mach 1 was build from factory with fixed rear seats. I'd like to keep it stock so i don't lose any value being that i have original engine. trans and seats. Question is can i convert to fold down rear seats with original ford parts and still retain the value?

Problem fixed by replacing switch with BWD Ignition Starter Switch i bought from advanced auto parts.  It didnt come iwth key tumbler so i was able to save a few dollars and use my own tumbler and key.
