Was that the date that Jim Lange set his 223.238 mph record at Bonneville 2009 Speed Weeks?
Yes, that's it exactly
.........Mr. Lange must have planned to run his Avanti on that historic anniversary?

The next item to assure is the lockup solenoid functionality. A run of the mill 700 will lock up the converter in 2nd or 3rd. In 4th, the converter must lockup or the oil will cook. 4th is overdrive and puts quite a strain on the converter, creating loads of heat, so an oil cooler and knowing the lock up works, is a primary concern. You can tell the lockup is functioning by a 2-300 rpm drop.
Not sure about that...i took manual control of the lockup converter on my '83 over fifteen years ago, and rarely use the lockup feature if I'm not on the highway.....never hurt the 700R4 or its converter!

What are the two gauges under the dash? I don't remember seeing them before.
Prior owner said the Granatelli's installed them...One of the gauges measures fuel pressure....They were concerned that the fuel mixture may lean out under high boost conditions causing internal engine damage.

Lot's of hard, dirty work... but I'm sure the end result will be OUTSTANDING!!

I live in Massachusetts and above ground home heating oil tanks are 12 gauge steel by code. If the answer is not 18 gauge I've got to go with 20. Can't be 25 or 30, just can't be!
20 it is fellow "BAY STATE'R"!!
..... (And our Avantis are only twenty-one cars apart!..They probably waved to each other on production line!)

What was the first year that Avanti used an AOD transmission?
OK...that was just a guess!

I'll guess the thickest material -- 18 gauge, since it was located inside the body itself.
Good thought Paul, but they aren't 18 gauge

Those spacers go onto the lower control arms

The Turbo-Hydro 400 probably went away with the 400 CI engine.

That sounds good!...and perhaps some Studebaker Avanti owner out there who can't afford new seat covers may be interested in those black ones!
Avanti 'Quad'!

I agree with you, however, if the Studebaker Avanti had quad headlights from day one...do you think we would today consider THAT look to be normal.....and dual headlights a strange, 'odd' look ?????
