mfg Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 If a 1963 Studebaker Avanti's P.O. shows "X89 AC-3311", what would that indicate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 AC-3311 is the number for the late '62 thru '64 V8 spin on oil filter cartridge................but not sure why this would be called out specifically on the Production Order?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Perhaps this is eliminating the spin on, full flow system, oil filter for a right hand drive Avanti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pb I was referring to a right hand drive Avanti where there isn't room for that oil filter. EDIT: In thinking about it, there may not have been any right hand drive Avantis assembled, but maybe they had a provision for it.

1963r2 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 There have certainly been a few converted to Rhd but I'm not aware of any being produced at the factory. I take your point though, I assume all Rhd studes had that option available to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close enough Paul!.....This option was listed on the Fleming Avanti (63R1728), and it simply means that it was factory equipped with a full-flow oil cartridge...(Weren't they all??)

X indicates it is not factory installed. Codes for seat belts for example are preceded by an X. X89 AC-3311 means the factory furnished a replacement oil filter with the car.

mfg Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 The item #46 "WET BATTERY" mention (on the Fleming Avanti P.O.) probably indicates the car's storage battery either wasn't connected, or shipped inside the car (in the 'boot'!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
