HELLO EVRYONE, I'VE HAD MY 78-- 440 CLIPPER FOR 2 YEARS NOW, STOLE HER I PROMISE. BEST I CAN TELL SHE'S IN IMMACULATE CONDITON AND ALL ORIGINAL. ALL PAPER THAT CAME WITH HER IN A DRAWER. HAVE MADE A FEW MINOR CHANGES NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE NEED BUT BECAUSE I WANTED TOO. HAVE MANY WEBSITES I USE FOR OTHER PURPOSE WHERE PARTS CAN BE FOUND. NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR A GREAT MECHANIC, AND TELLS ME SHE WILL BE RUNNING FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. I HAVE BEEN READING SOME OF THE PAST TIPS AND TRICKS AND I MIGHT POSSIBLY HAVE SOME ANSWERS. SEEMS THE CALIFORNIA PRICES FOR SOME ITEMS ARE TWICE OR THREE TIMES WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM FOR, SO PLEASE FEEL FRRE TO MAIL ME AND I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO FOR ANYONE. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING THIS A GREAT SITE. LEARNED A LOT AND LOTS TO SHARE.

Welcome to Clipperland Larry...  

As you've apparently noticed, everyone on the board is ALWAYS looking for better deals on parts!!  Post some pics of your changes, if you can... we'd all love to see 'em!

Enjoy your pristine Clip, and be sure to join ACOC.

ANDY, I HAVE MAD NO CHANGES OTHER THAN THE MINI BLINDS AND WATER LINE CONNECTIONS JUST BECAUSE IT MADE FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE. DID HOWEVER BUY NEW DUMP VALVE GASKETS, ANTEENA WORM GEAR AND NEW VENT COVERS. OTHER THAN THAT OTHER THAN ORDINARY TUNE UP AND CHARGING RELAY UNDER HOOD I HAVEN'T DONE A THING. IF ANYONE INTRESTED IN RELAY UNDER HOOD I HAVE INFO THAT WILL HELP ANYONE. E-MAIL ME AND I'' EXPLAIN IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. IN THE MEAN TIME I WILL TRY AND DRAW IT OUT SO I CAN MAIL A HOMEMADE DIAGRAM. HAPPY CLIPPERING TO ALL.
