Slow clock calibration
On my 450SLC electric clock, mounted center-dash (between two ventilation outlets), there is a small speed calibration screw on the back, labeled + in one direction, - in the other. Moving this screw does not seem to speed up my slow-running clock, although I have been cautious, moving the screw only a fraction of a turn. Has anyone improved their clock's accuracy by adjusting this screw? If so, how far did you have to turn it? My clock is losing about 6 minutes/day. I assume that to speed up my clock I should be turning the screw in the + direction. Any advice from someone who has done this would be appreciated.

Mine was losing 10+ minutes per day. While reworking the speedo and heater levers I adjusted the speed toward the positive and now gain about 1-2 minutes per day. Too much work to pull the cluster just to slow it down a tad.

It sounds to me like your clock just needs cleaning to get rid of the old dirt and old lube.
I have heard that you can use brake cleaner, or even better, the stuff the copy machine repair people use, spray the living snot out of it, let it dry, then lube it with, with,....with what? Hmmmmm...
