The U17 instrumentation option include the clock. All gauge cars, re: 1969 Camaros, have a clock, period. The ones on the net that don’t have a clock, but do have guages? They were added after the car was built.

From the Camaro Research Group website: “Gauges (U16 or U17): The U17 gauge option was an option on any V8 car and required the ordering of a console. It included the tach, clock, fuel, oil, amp, and temperature gauges. The underdash wiring harness will have extra wiring going to the console wiring connector for the gauges and a different connector for the tachometer. There was a hole drilled in the firewall just behind the distributor for the oil line. In 69, the cluster will have a different cutout for the tach than for the standard fuel gauge.”

“Later 69 V8 cars were available with the U16 Tachometer which consisted of just a tachometer and a center mounted fuel gauge. A console was not required.

Later 69 Z28's were the only model that required a tachometer (via either U16 or U17”
