I want to say hi to everyone.  I just got a 1977 Clipper a few days ago.  I live in Kokomo, IN.

Do I have to use leaded fuel?  No such thing anymore, but they sell an additive.  I saw a sticker inside that said leaded fuel only.

We took a 6000+ mile trip last fall and just returned from the winter in the desert and we had a 2500+ trip there.   We used the cheapest fuel we could find.   Some times even a good blend of ethonol.  Ours is a 360ci  in our 1975 Clipper.   We got about 8 to 9 miles per gallon on both trips.   You might consider a good 1975 tune up before traveling too much.   Set the timeing right using your vacumn gauge.

I live in Kalamazoo Michigan just north of you. I don't think there are many Clippers east of the Mississippi. If you take it out this summer let me know, maybe we can meet up somewhere. I have a 78 rear kit with a few upgrades and too many new parts

Sounds good to me Jerry T.

My engine guru says the 70's Dodges already have hardened valve seats so running unleaded is no problem, I guess the lead was used as a lubricant for the combustion chamber.
