According to the production data, 55 lbs is correct. This assumes R1 equipped with 3 spd and R2 equipped with 4 spd.
In order to correctly answer this question, the difference in weight between 3 spd and 4 spd needs to be known.
-
In 64 R1/R2, the "standard" axle ratio was 3.54. Does any know if the same is true for R3s?

In that case, I may try my quick steering arms. Dan Booth was telling me that it would make it hard to handle
Your 80 should already have the quick steering arms.
-
Works for me.
-
I will plan on picking up in South Bend. I can send $$ via zelle, paypal, ???
-
Option 84 for 63 is front seatbelts. There is a publication entitled "The Studebaker Avanti Production Data" available from the Studebakermuseum.org that contains a lot of good tidbits.
-
Not worried about mounts. Let me know how much and if you would consider shipping. Otherwise, I plan on being in South Bend for the IM.
-
Yes, should be "quick" steering arms. When Avanti changed to the forklift steering box, they were needed to keep the steering similar. In any case, I have the same setup on my 78.

I've got a pair out of my 74. They are in storage but Ill try to get a picture or two tomorrow.
Thanks, primarily interested in driver's bottom shell. The welds on the bracing gave way and the fiberglass is all but destroyed. I could repair the fiberglass, but the reinforcing is rusted through in several places and I would need to fabricate some kind of replacement.
-
The shop manual has very good information for this carb.
-
The driver's seat on my 78 is in bad shape. The reinforcement separated and the shell is broken on a couple of places. Any one have a spare? This is the high back seat, not Recaro.
-
Getting new upholstery. Discovered that the driver's seat bottom is broken. The reinforcement separated and the fiberglass shell is pretty bad. Any one parting an Avanti with the high back seats, not Recaro?
-
According to research by George Krem as published on page 30 of "The Studebaker Avanti Production Data" all 9 had TT with 3 having 4.09 axle ratios and 2 having 4.55 ratios.
-
I would have guessed that it was inverted flare. Lo and behold when I looked at some spares in the shop, they appear to be NPT. No seat to seal! OTOH, the fittings that go into the pump are inverted flare.
FWIW, I have had success using hylomar as a sealant.

1) Yes. According to service letter J-1963-8, the shielding cover may push one of the spark plug cables onto the resistor terminal causing a miss.
-
Well, since it is SN60, maybe 2) 1960?
-
Here is picture of engine serial number from 64 R1. If the block is original, it should be RSxxxx. Of course, some previous owner may have transferred the R2 internals to a different block.
-
1557144 is the block casting number. You need to find the serial number that is stamped, not cast, into the block near the front of the lifter cover, driver's side. 535796 is the casting number for 57,58 Golden Hawks and 59,60,61 V8s.
-
All full flow blocks have the same casting number, so you need engine serial number. Head casting numbers are 1557582.
-
The serial number is on a flat pad near the lifter cover driver's front side. As stated, the head casting numbers are visible just above the center exhaust port. Does it have a spin on oil filter lower rear passenger side?
-
Does it come with the ignition shielding? The concern about the black oil filler cap is that it could be an older engine. Verify head numbers, they are visible above the center exhaust port.
-
The model, SN60, and serial number are stamped into the case. Do not recall where exactly, but that should help identify.
-
Pretty sure they are correct. 1551414 on the right(passenger) side and 1551415 on the left.
-
Maybe the spring spacer. On my 78, it was aluminum and badly corroded.
Overweight Avanti!

Not correct. As I pointed out, the base R1 has 3 spd and the base R2 has 4spd. You must account for the difference in weight!
