John, I think I should have both of your manuals. I have been fighting a repo manual for about 15 years, with no parts manual, and it seems with clear pics it would be a lot easier to work on these cars. My email is bssmnbll@aol.com, and my cell is 410-279-4109, if you still have them. Thanks Bill Nelson

Does anyone know what the rearend ratio was on the Bonneville Avanti??

my avanti has lost it's power when it is sitting still!! what is wrong??

Ron, when I got new wheels, I think it was suggested then to use new 15x6" Ford, I think. They are working fine. My car is R1855, so yours is really an early number. LOL, just remember the rear window had a tendency to "suck out" at speeds over 135 mph, on "early models".

Frank, I found my 63 Avanti R1855 in a warehouse in Pendleton, Oregon. It had been in storage for 28 years, but after cleaning the fuel pump and carb, it fired on the original ignition. That was 2004, and in the next 5 years I had my hands on EVERY part of that car. It is a driver with 59000 original miles, and the only thing not stock in the drivetrain is a worldclass Tremec 5 speed which makes the 3.73 rear tolerable on the road.
Good Luck with your
avanti. Bill Nelson

I once read that the 283" that was used in Canadian models was a GM sanctioned copy, made by a Canadian firm, not Chebby.

I recently saw an old thread of a hinge repair kit made by LarkTruck Jim. Does anyone have current knowledge of this repair kit??
Or any other way to fix the sagging door issue?? Thanks for any suggestions.
