ΔT/T is just the initial T?

Alright awesome, so what am I solve for delta g?

Period depends on gravity because of different locations on Earth have different magnitudes of acceleration, correct? I thought that was the point to this problem. So as you change locations, acceleration due to gravity is different thus the period changes.

The full question is: The pendulum inside a grandfather clock has a half period of 1.0000s at a location where the magnitude of the local acceleration of gravity is 9.800 m/s^2. The clock carefully is moved to another location at the same temperature and is found to run slow by 89.0s per day...
