'86 CGT digi dash questions (and plea for help?)

I have a delapidated CGT that was at one point in the past a Commemorative
Edition.  After having seen the lamp discussion, it appears people actually
HAVE the digital dashes, so (while it's getting other repairs done.. clutch
slave cylinder went out) I have a couple questions about it:

1. How do you set the @#$%-@#$%ing clock?  This has bugged me ever since I
got a working cluster for the car. ;)

2. Is there a fuel flow meter specifically for the average mileage in the
trip computer?  The mileage has (in the 3000 miles or so that I've
had the cluster) been eternally 15.6mpg, occasionally dropping to 0.0 for a
few seconds before returning to 15.6.

On an unrelated note, I need a LOT of parts for this car.  All the ground
effects, bumper shrouds and clips, rubber trim, three of the four parking
lamp assemblies, a couple interior panels, and the spoiler.  <deep breath>
And most of the AC components, the right alternator (this one has a Mazda
RX-7 alternator shoehorned in?), a power window cable, a coolant resovoir
and sensor, the plastic gutter that sheds water from the hood vents, a
windshield washer resovoir and pump, power steering resovoir/pump/hoses, the
little power mirror thingywidgit that goes in the driver armrest, body-side
door seals for both doors, exterior door handles, locks, and mounting
hardware for both doors, striker plates for both doors, the driver door
latch mechanism, and (the most important part) the sunroof crank.  If any of
you have any of these parts, or the ability to aquire them, I'd greatly
appreciate private email about it.  I'm particularly poor, but I really want
to get this car back up to spec, because it was obviously beautiful and
quick.  Thanks.  (end rant)

If it didn't suck, it wouldn't be everything.
