Title: It's A Clipper!
Post by: MNebulae on September 28, 2015, 06:44:11 PM
Hello All!

I just joined the forum and bought my first 1978 Clipper last week (821F, rear kitchen, 440 engine).  Needs some small work (mainly engine-type stuff and it sat for about 18 months), but everything - so far - is in top working order!  Excited to be here and learn from everyone!

Caution: they can be addictive!!
That's what's fun, there is always something to tinker with, or improve on, all they need is T LC.
Welcome...what area do you live?
I've got a 78.  440 as well. The more air we gave it...the better it's been starting AND running. After smog, we changed out the air filter to one less restrictive than stock, just a suggestion!..wow! 
Look forward to hearing about your ventures.

Hello!

Thanks for the information.. I definitely have a new addiction already (I can tell and it's only been about 10 days since I bought it)!   ;D

I'm in Northern Utah (about 30 miles north of SLC), and it sounds like I'm only one of two or so in Utah.. so.. :)

I'd love to come out for one of the rallies, work (and life) willing.

Glad to be here!
