Below is a list of resources for 1st generation Honda Accord owners. I have personal experience with all of the resources currently listed.
| Name | Phone | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Helm Inc | 800-782-4356 | Official Honda Service Manuals and Publications. I highly recommend you purchase the Genuine Honda Service Manual for your car. No other manual I have seen comes close in terms of completeness, organization, and quality. Prices start at $40 and depend on your car's model and year. 1976-1981 Accord service manuals are still available. |
| Faxon | 800-458-2734 | Out of print automotive publications. I purchased a previously owned 1978 Accord Owners Manual, no longer available from Helm, from Faxon. The "used" manual was in excelent condition as stated by the sales person. |
| Name | Phone | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Menlo Honda | 650-364-1011 | Authorized Honda Dealer. Good local source of OEM Honda parts. Parts department personnel provide high quaility service. |
| Japan Parts | 650-871-9191 | Used motors and transmissions. Engines and transmissions are low mileage units imported from Japan. Gaskets and other items are also available. EK and EF motors and their respective transmissions are hard to come by at this point in time. It appears the supply in Japan is drying up. |
| Honda's Only | 408-727-2400 | Honda junkyard. Good source for used interior, body, and suspension parts. |
| California Auto Upholstery | 650-592-7947 | Auto Upholstery. High quality work for less than the cost of purchasing new seats from the dealer. |
Please send me the early
Accord resources you have discovered in your area. I will add them to the
list.
