I have purchased several items from Bob. Always got good parts, prices and service. Hope everything is ok, he is one of the good guys.
-
They have a separate part number for 4.55 ratio as well. Must be the speedometer drive on the mainshaft.
-
Don't disagree with special order ratios. Do disagree with statement that 4spd was only used with 3.07 ratio.
-
Are you sure about the 3.07 axle? IIRC, standard R/A was 3.73 for 63 and 3.54 for 64 for cars with 4spd.
-
Yes,
Shims on right side, followed by brake backing plate, followed by reinforcement plate, and finally, the dust seal. IIRC, there is a thin paper gaskets that goes between the dust seal and reinforcement plate.
-
The 2 piece pin pictured, aka thrust block, is for twin traction. The open differential uses a one piece thrust block.
-
FWIW, picture of correct rag joint with horn jumper.
-
Pictures of 78 Avanti Spring spacer. The Studebaker Spring coils are flattened on the ends. IIRC, the 78 coils were round.
-
One on each side. I have a spare set. I will post pictures later this morning.
-
My 78 has two aluminum spacers on the bottom of the springs. They are about 1/2". I did not have any rubber spacers. I do not know for sure if this is factory.
-
Just to ask the obvious, did you check trans fluid level?
-
Love it! Much better than the 4 door.

Where do you live? Would like to swing by and purchase some items if not to far away.

The shims for axle end play go between the axle and backing plate. There is a reinforcement that goes on the front of the backing plate. Then the dust seal. There are gaskets on either side of the reinforcement.
IIRC, the shims for axle end play go on the passenger side according to shop manual.
Make sure the bearing races are seating correctly. Additionally, if you removed/replaced bearings, maybe the bearings are not fully seated on the axle.
-
I wonder how many people know how to siphon gas any more.
-
If the crank is bad, why replace the block?
-
Inquiring minds want to know. Does the Mopar B body booster fit Studebaker Avanti? Anyone have a definitive answer?
-
The one I have is approx 17 1/4 x 36 3/4. I did not remove the aluminum frame so the glass is likely a little shorter in both dimensions.
-
Will measure in morning.
-
I sent p.m.

I have Dana 44 from a 63 I am parting out that you can have if you are willing to remove. I believe it is 3.31 ratio. I live just south of Tampa.
Starter Cranks Slowly?

I assume you cleaned and painted engine, starter, etc. How about scraping off some of the paint where the starter mounts to the engine. Ensure that you are grounding to a clean, bare area and that the cables you are using are of the correct guage. Inexpensive jumper cables may not be able to handle the load, and paint is not a good conductor.
One more thing to check, is the valve lash on spec? If valves are not opening correctly, that could be an issue.
