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.

Perfect!

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

I always use them with no problems…Thr correct install is shown in your second photo. I tighten the pal nuts by feel… Once they rub against rod nut I give them about another 1/3 turn.

ANSWER… ‘Model C’ !

ANSWER….Prestolite!

I thought the lines looked too big for it to be an electric fuel pump.

Avanti side glass can be a challenge… Worse yet if the doors themselves are slightly misaligned, worn hinges, etc.

And just think…At that time Studebaker was pushing their ‘all new, sure-fire’ DISC BRAKES!!!!!

Wow!… GREAT STORY…. He was probably driving the Due Cento… I think that was the only car there with a chute.

That’s the one Bob!

No seat experts out there?

Paula Murphy ? (It must sound like I’m picking on women here!)

This interests me…. I’d like to hear more about this item!

All done here?

Which one of the following original Studebaker Avanti exterior colors was (apparently) Avanti team designer Tom Kellogg’s favorite? 1) Avanti Gold….2) Avanti Turquoise…..3) Avanti White….or….4) Avanti Red

Pretty sure Valvoline engine oil

1984 Avanti ‘Touring Coupes’ were equipped with top of the line Recaro Model …..?….. leather front seats. 1) A….. 2) K…..3) C….or…..4) BBS

More info on the ‘HO’ engines.., Most ‘83 model year Avantis were equipped with the ‘LG4’ code 165 horsepower 305 engine…… Late ‘83’s and most ‘84’s and all ‘85 Avantis (except the Touring Coupes) were equipped either the ‘L69’ 200 horsepower 305 engine.

Sure would like to hear who it was!!

Ashland (I think!)

I’m no doubt looking for trouble, however if anyone out there has a Packard Caribbean dual quad intake manifold collecting dust under their work bench,…. I’d be interested in purchasing! (352-374)

Uncle?

Yes, although some knock the 305, I find it to be a good reliable engine!..,My ‘83 Avanti ‘everyday driver’ has one, and it’s never let me down in thousands of miles……Happy Memorial Day!

Could it possibly be Barbara Neiland?
