  1. Try to contact them thru Ebay, If they don`t stock them, they may be able to get you one.
  2. If you did, you would need a 48 Volt system to run the compressor. But I think it`s a great idea if it could be worked out. I had even thought about it before In installed mine.
  3. It was made for the Avanti. It also came with the cooler connections for the automatic transmission if you have one. It was a first class radiator.
  4. I bought all of the A/C equipment from Vintage Air. This was in 2012 so they may have a complete kit that you can buy now . I had to make it up as I went along, and it took a lot of head scratching to make it all work. It was even harder than making the electric steering for the car, but that`s another story.
  5. I bought the valley pan cover from O`brien Truckers #508-248-1555 or www. obrientruckers.com I think the valve covers came from them also, but I can`t find the invoice for them. If you do buy these, expect to spend at least a full day with a grinder to make the valley cover clear the bottom of your intake manifold. You will also have to make some brackets to move your accelerator linkage and your ignition covers. It is a pretty big job but it can be done, you just have to have patience.
  6. I bought the radiator from Kool Radiators on E bay with free shipping it cost $263.35 Kool Radiators Zona Landess 156 Medina Hills Ct Austin, Texas 78737 United States
  7. It`s not easy to get everything under the dash, but I did it on mine. Buy the biggest condenser you can fit in front of your radiator. I made my own brackets and bought a larger amp. alternator. you have to move things around a bit and someone is advertising in the Studebaker magazine about brackets to do this, and they look nice and will save you a lot of work if you aren`t a fabricator. Be sure your cooling system is in good shape. I just bought a NEW radiator on Ebay , It`s aluminum and fits like a glove. It brought my engine temperature down about 20 degrees. This is the first time I`ve ever seen any for sale, so if you are still using your original radiator I suggest you replace it with a new one.
