the only thing I would have to do is convert to negative ground. womp womp on that. I know others have done it though. not sure how that affects the generator...or maybe I'd have to have an alternator. or the starter, lighting, gauges....blugh
All you have to do is repolarize the generator and make sure there are no pos ground solid state items such as fuel pumps, radio vibrator replacements etc installed. Your Clipper has no ammeter so no wires to reverse on it and if the TL control box is original then OK. Unsure about the solid state TL switch replacements. Some vendors say the switches are not polarity specific others give no info.
Everything else that is stock will work but you might check the regulator. Some originals of the period are specific and work better when properly oriented while universal aftermarket replacements usually do not care. Same with the coil so any wire changes depends on type of igintion.
