If the clock worked at all, I would buy a Lottery ticket!

My "64 R1, automatic, 16,000 miles. Fresh redo.

There are no other marks on the damper I have.

Thank you,,,

Thank you for your reply. Even without the silver paint, your G2 mark is much deeper and more defined than the marks on mine. Do you have a mark 180 degrees opposite of the mark you show, it may be very faint as mine are?,,,

I’d call Dave Thibeault… Be assured he will sell you the correct part… Tel# 978 897 3158

This is the damper from a 63 R2. The short silver sharpe mark lines up with the key way. It is best to check the accuracy of the marks. They can be checked with the positive stop method or with a dial indicator. I use the positive stop method before putting the heads on.

Thanks Guys. At least now I know what to look for. I have a feeling the clog is in the feed line and the tanks not an issue, Got some checking to do..

I think you call them trunks. Pb

That’s odd… on my ‘83 (RQB3655), the fuel outlet is bottom dead center of the fuel tank… exactly like earlier Avantis .., There is also a factory drain plug in the fuel line located approximately under center of passenger door.

The gasket around the throttle floor board penetration.

mfg, thanks. The brakes were fine. Even the old am radio came on with some distant country song. We live a ways from a town. The only thing that didn't work right was the clock.

On my 63, the fuel line comes out at the bottom of the tank thru the floor above the axle and goes to the fuel line that runs on the driver's side of the car up to the Studebaker fuel pump. On my 82 with the chevy engine, the fuel line comes from the top of the tank, drops down in front of the tank and through the floor right in front of the right rear tire. It then goes to the chevy pump on the passenger side of the car. Since that line ends up being lower than the fuel tank, it's gravity fed.

Perfect!

I have '63 R1 3 speed automatic. What are the specs for the starter's pinion gear? I need to have a new one but want to be one-thousand percent sure. Thanks

Good info Ron. I'm going to syphon out the tank as best possible and remove the tank. All your points are well accepted and I agree. It still doesn't answer the question of where is the fuel line attached to the tank. My understanding is there is an elbow fitting below the tank connected to s rubber hose. The rubber can be crimped off to stop fuel flow onto the ground.... but where do I access that fitting and hose? Under the car???

How do these look to everyone? The grayish element tells me that it's not running too rich or lean. But what about the rest of the plug. Would you have guessed that they were new 13 months ago? Can't have more than 2k-3k miles on the car in that time frame. Thanks

Boot as in front hood?

Our 2006 Avanti ( #10) on the drag strip at the 2010 Glendale Int'l meet. I only got a 14.7, but my kid got a 14.3 quarter mile time

The 2002 I used to own…

If it's the same as my 82 had, the fuel lines run from the engine fuel pump on the passenger side of the engine back to just in front of the right rear tire and then go up through the floor to the gas tank. You will need to remove the back seat, the back fiber glass panel behind the seat, to access the fuel tank and lines. Once there, you can disconnect the rubber hoses from the tank (first) and the chassis metal lines (second), since they will both need replacing. Next set up a container to catch the fuel. Attach the old supply hose back to the tank so the fuel will go to your container. (gravity fed). There wasn't a drain plug on my 82. Now is the time to replace all the fuel hoses including the filler neck hose, fuel pump hoses, etc. You'll need to go get some dum-dum when reinstalling the back panel to seal it off correctly. You don't want to use anything that will harden like silicon etc. since the panel may need to be removed in the future. The tank can be removed at this time also if needed.

Good for you and your son… And your Avanti looks great… Just be sure that the brakes feel OK!
