No it should turn off or the battery will drain. Had it happen with my grand national years ago replaced it with a different one no problems when

somehow I was thinking of this clock. It obviously stays on all the time. Might have been called a "tic-toc-tach"

Yes my clock is on all the time but it isn’t a daily driver so draining the battery and I can hear the mechanical ticking of it when the ignition is off. Does anybody have any clues how to just disable the clock? 1985 Monte SS I have a cel phone and a watch if I want to know he time  I think the easiest way to do it is remove the clock and install electrical tape over the connectors on the back of the clock gauge. But while you're in there it might be better to convert it to tach. Been a good 8 years since i've done that, but I think you just add a wire for the tach and run it to the distributor.
