Have you readjusted the brake pedal height with the eccentric bolt?

Dwight is correct, the spindles do not come in the kit.
I also opted to buy the stainless braided flex lines.
I think I figured out a way to reuse the original backing plates. It looks like I can possibly swap them side to side and trim them to match the new calipers. That will need to be a future project, however. I didn't come to this conclusion until after everything was assembled. I'll order the aviation grade bolts for the caliper brackets and do it all at the same time.
You can use the original Dunlop system dust/rock guards with Turner brakes. It takes a little work and creativity

Very nice fit & finish..

You put the cylinder in a vise and clamped down on the piston, to get it to recede in the cylinder???

That what 'mfg' said....... and I'll bet that if you install a manual choke, your experience will be much better. I'm not familiar with an Edelbrock electric choke but the ones I had were energized as soon as you turn the ignition key on. If the engine doesn't start right away, the choke continues to open and you're basically out of options, unless you pour some gas down the carb or turn the key off and wait 15 minutes for the choke coil to get cold again...
A long time ago, I had an electric choke kit (1967) that was wired to one of the exhaust manifold bolts to sense engine temps and that would be great for today's cars as it would emulate the original auto choke process.
BTW, I saw your car in the Gilmore just last June. Very nice car and a great place..

New member here. I have a 69 - 70, 350/4speed, black interior. coup, RQAO357. As I'm new as a owner and live in Texas /DFW area I'm looking for owner's in the area and trying to find some one who works on Avantii's. I've had the car for about a month and it basically sits in my garage undriveable because of the problems that are inherent in the car. I bought it from an on-line dealership specializing in such cars. They flat out misrepresented the car as did the expert they recommended to check it out to verify the condition. So many things wrong with the car! At any rate no shop I've taken it to will work on the car. After leaving it with a trusted shop for 10 days, that I use years on my other 60"s /70"s Mustangs and Corvettes - they called me back and said , "Pick it up. We can't work on a car like this". At any rate - I'm just trying to locate anyone reputable who is not afraid of touching the car. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Ron

Are the wiring diagrams for the 84 available?
Maybe someone can take a pic of their fuse panel and if it matches up with the 83,t hen it's a fair surmise the wiring is similar...

There's an electronic cleaner for electronics called De-Oxit that works miracles

There are quite a few returns if you "Google" 1984 GM emissions canister, even new stuff. It's very likely this is what you have onboard...

Could be... 1964 Avanti R-4994 .. has a body tag #3849. The RQ4370 you refer to is the generic code for 64 Avanti trim on the build sheet. All 64 Avantis have that notation.
Where is this car located?

I can verify that the larger sway bars, front and rear, along with Koni, Bilstein or KYB shocks will make your car corner like its on rails....

Pictures of serial number plate and body tag?

If it's anything like a 1970, the valve is above the passengers left toe

Avanti Motors part # 1700928 and 1700929 available at Studebaker Vendors.

Can you take a picture of the brakes and the rear axle housing. It will help immensely. There also may be tags attached to the differential bolts that can tell the tale.
