    Avanti Features!

    YOU'RE A SHARPIE NELSON!! Yes..the two outer grooves on a Stude R1 Avanti's crank pulley and also it's water pump pulley, are never used in the factory R1 configuration. ( R1 a/c models have different setup)

    Avanti Features!

    Good thought..and I understand there's a difference in the brass carb fitting...but the pcv system is not the answer here!
  5. Can anyone name two differences between the Studebaker Lark/Hawk R2 carb bonnet and the Stude Avanti R2 carb bonnet?
  6. Agreed on the Gold/ Elk combo...Same as my '63...Which I changed to 'Avanti Turquoise' thirty years ago!!
  7. The firewall mounted brake fluid reservoir used on '63-'64 GT Hawk's equipped with Avanti style disc brakes was first introduced as an option on Stude passenger cars in.. 1) 1953....2) 1956....or.....3) 1961
  8. Can anyone name two negatives in an R2 Studebaker Avanti's supercharger system.... which were later corrected in the R3 Avanti supercharger system

    Avanti Features!

    REPEAT HINT!... BOTH R1 and R2 Avanti engines have these items....but these items are NEVER utilized on the R1!

    Avanti Features!

    Sorry no.... As R1's were not equipped with that R2 boost line.
  12. Congrats!!... looks like it has great 'bones'!!!

    Avanti Driver!

    Yep!...I believe he was shown driving a 'round light', and later on in the series a 'square light'..... SPORTY GUY!!! ..

    Avanti Features!

    Paul...an R1 engine would operate the same without its oil dipstick in place...but an oil dipstick was part of the original package!!!
  15. mfg

    Avanti Features!

    Yes, the engine would operate the same...however the assumption here is that we are speaking of a complete 'as built by Studebaker' Avanti R1 engine...The chrome parts were part of that package.

    Avanti Seal!

    Yes, sorry Paul..sick this week!!!
  18. mfg

    Avanti Seal!

    Yes, there are a few different solutions for sealing the accelerator pump shaft on an R2...however, according to a very well respected Avanti carb rebuilder (NOT ME!!) the original seal has not been reproduced....Ed

    Avanti Features!

    HINT!... Found on both R1 & R2 engines...but not used on the R1's!

    Avanti Features!

    Hmmm....Good point on a rare radio delete Avanti...however, I'm speaking of the "normal" radio equipped R1 Stude Avanti.

    Avanti Driver!

    CORRECT!.. Rodger Addison
  22. mfg

    Avanti Seal!

    No, it's not.
  23. mfg

    Avanti Seal!

    However not original...the answer here is FALSE!
  24. mfg

    Avanti Features!

    Sorry no, the chrome helps present the engine as an Avanti R1....Part of the package.
  25. On the Mr. Ed TV show, what was the name of the character who was occasionally seen driving a Studebaker Avanti?
