Yep… you’ve got it right… the open end on overflow tank is just an outlet to ground if the tank itself should fill to capacity… which should never happen if you pay attention to the coolant ‘fill’ indicator line on the plastic tank.

Back in the day the stainless steel grille would need to be removed to service the air filters?
-
I would think the ‘81 would still be using the Studebaker Avanti type fuel tank… so that would make it’s capacity 21 gallons.

Interesting… I’ve never had an issue mixing Dot 3 & 4 brake fluid.

Note the correct black painted Paxton supercharger in the R2 engine photo.
-
Perhaps the same Avanti which HRM used forthe R2 engine picture??
-
Actually… it’s VERY hard to believe those seats aren’t black….Could HRM have substituted a photo of another Avanti’s interior??
-
Ditto!… In the black & white pics ‘Avanti Red’ seems to me the most likely exterior color… and that interior shot sure looks like a black interior!

Thanks!…. hadn’t seen that article in years!

50 Years of ERISA and how Studebaker and Avanti was involved in its creation
mfg replied to lschuc's topic in Avanti Pub
Very important!… As a former union steward I say BRAVO ERISA!!!! -
Thanks for your opinion on the new front springs….Sounds good! Good move on the tire size too… I’ll bet your Avanti will handle/feel much better!

An AOAI Forum member owns that particular Avanti tested by HRM in 1963!

Belt line door glass exterior seal and interior 'wiskers' replacement

I think that your ‘67 Avanti ll has found a good home… Your research before the ‘attack’ is quite commendable! The door lock issue may be worn parts… Therr is a lot going on in that exterior door handle… but if you indeed end up removing it, I think you’ll be able to figure it out… Typical German assembly… high quality but a bit over complicated!… Good luck with your low mileage ‘67! -
One ‘oddity’ I noticed on R4892 was that, on a Studebaker Avanti so loaded with options, (and I forgot to mention it also has power windows) is that it’s not equipped with windshield washers.. The cowl panel has never been drilled for a factory washer nozzle…. Unusual I thought. Not criticizing here… R4892 is definitely one of the very ‘Top Shelf’ Studebaker Avantis!

Exactly!
