Is this the correct clock?

Post by pdxfiat »

We recently bought a 1972 124 Spider. The clock has the adjustment nob at the top (by the 12). Every other photo I have ever seen has it at the bottom (by the 6). Is this correct for the '72, or should I put the one from my parts car in.

Here are photos of the clock from the '72:

"electronico" with top adjustment is the correct clock for the pre 78 spider, in late 77 fiat went to the "quartzo" clock... guess what that means :), they also moved the adjustment to the bottom. the early clocks seemed to be a bit more reliable but the adjustment broke easily. the later version went exactly the other way.
