Probably a worn ignition switch.
Although the clock should be on a always-powered circuit that should not be
interrupted by the ignition switch.(unless you refer to the radio's clock)

The radio is powered thru the Accessory position of the ignition switch,I
believe.


If your main relay has not been replaced or resoldered,it may be time for
that,too.

No spark might be a bad igniter in the distributor.

Replace the battery.

Try to start the car with the lights ON . If they go OFF, you have a
bad battery connection or a finished battery.
