Yep that's the clock.  Can't wait to put it in. I'm going to throw it in my convert.

Did you also have to get the LED compatible flasher?

The LED flasher is only needed for LED turn signal bulbs. It is not necessary for the dash lights.

LEDs are polarity sensitive.  Lesser expensive ones will not work if the +/- is backwards.  The better quality, little more $$ LEDs, are made so as not to be polarity sensitive.

UPDATE:

I flipped the bulbs in the socket, and now they all work.  I can't explain it.  At least I can see my speedometer past 7pm now!  :thumbsup:
