possibly voltage regulator the little 3 pin black part on the back of the clocks, does your fuel and temp gauge work ok?

or a loose connection on the plug / plugs under the clockset.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

I would put my money on the Hall effect sensor in the dizzy. That usually seems to be the culprit. Better off getting a rebuilt dizzy as they seem to be a bit fiddly to fit. Hope this helps.
