    '63 Avanti

    mfg replied to Jeff K's topic in 1963-64 Avanti

    Yes… sounds like a prior owner installed the ‘64 style air filter assy on your ‘63 Avanti …Upside down!!

    I’ve removed regular exhaust manifolds from above without too much trouble… Easier on right side… I’d guess the headers would be about the same amount of work… Loosening the exhaust pipe-to-manifold nuts can be a challenge though!

    Awesome!

    I still like the Gillig bus magnetic hood locks….. Very crafty!!!

    If you feel the source of fuel leak is concealed, I’d pull out the rear seat and fiberglass back plate to reveal fuel tank and it’s connections.

    To be honest with you Dwight, I think the exposed carb on the R2’s actually look better than sealed in a box… however the ‘boxed’ carb is considerably safer!

    I’ve always thought that Studebaker should have equipped all their R2 equipped vehicles with a carb pressure box (as all ‘57-‘58 Golden Hawks were equipped) Although current owners carefully maintain the factory pressurized carb, back in the day, when many used these vehicles for everyday transportation and hoods weren’t lifted very often, gasoline leaks were somewhat common!

    engine light

    mfg replied to czfornum3's topic in 1965-83 Avanti

    The check engine light comes on after you turn the engine off … keys out of ignition switch?

    I think I’d put two extra screws to hold rear cover in place, soak actual screws in paint stripper to clean them down to bare steel… then hit them with a self etching primer for good adhesion … then spray them silver and install on freshly painted supercharger…. Nice detail!
  13. mfg
    Dwight, if you’re referring to the screws which retain the rear scroll cover to the scroll housing, they were definitely painted, along with the rest of the blower, as a complete assembly… however, leaving them unpainted or cad plated sure looks nice!!

    By the way the motors will run a minute or two before the breaker trips is good… it indicates there is no ‘dead short’ in the wiring…. As I said previously, before you start throwing money & time at this problem.. lube the motors.
  15. mfg
    I’d guess motors need lube.

    My ‘83 is like that…. on not so often used passenger side.
