    R3 Valves!

    Have to give you a big NO on that one….Sorry!
  4. That wire gives the horn button a good ground to chassis… Although your horn may work without it, it really should be there.. I’d re-connect it.

    R3 Valves!

    Back when the folks at Paxton Products were scrambling to sell off the last of their Studebaker R3/R4 engines... and were running short of some of the special parts required to build these engines, engine valves were supposedly sourced from …..?….. 1) Chrysler…..2) Pontiac….3) Lincoln…..or…..4) American Motors
  8. It takes all kinds!!
  9. Remarkable… very nicely done!

    R3 Numbers!

    I would imagine the rare R3-R4 type cylinder heads would bolt right on to the prototype 340… without the needed cylinder chamfering found in the smaller 305 CI blocks.

    R3 Numbers!

    I wonder if the one or two experimental 340 CI Studebaker engine blocks, that made it out of the factory, had any type of numbering I.D. on them?
  12. The Avanti factory installed a proportioning valve on their 1983 models… However, (I think) they used it because the rear drum brakes on the ‘83’s, although the same size as the rear brakes on Studebaker Avantis, were self-energizing and had more stopping power.
  13. Those plugs are ‘oldies but goodies’….NICE!
  14. Ha ha!!!!!!!!!!
  15. 45 lbs?….Whoa!!!!!
