I'm going to say 'false'.......not that I know a whole lot about how Studebaker painted the Avantis, but just because I don't remember lacquer paint jobs being 'cleared' back in the '60s.
-
That sounds about right.......but I'm too lazy to go dig the gaskets out to verify it. So I'll say 'true'.
-
The planned 340CI Studebaker engine, if put into production, would probably have been un-supercharged, as Paxton superchargers lose their effectiveness when used on engines over 325 CI displacement....True?
False - as long as you have enough of them.
The Granatelli's ran two Paxtons on a 1960 300F 413 c.i. Chrysler.

John, it's folks like you that make this a great hobby. Thanks for doing this!
-
First 20th anniversary edition made?
-
They were also both 'prototypes' or better yet 'engineering test mules' for upcoming models/options.
-
They were both driven by the Presidents of the companies that manufactured them.
-
Sens - in fact, the Pichon Parat badges on the Avanti sedan prototypes even say "Sens".
-
Thanks anyway, cmholm - at least people are still looking!
-
A jigsaw to cut a big hole in the hood of that Avanti? Cause once you install that tall GH 2-bbl manifold and tall air box, I doubt if the hood will close.
-
Road draft tube, since when you do away with the R2 carb you no longer have a PCV system?
-
Then it would need to be some sort of carb adapter, to adapt the 4-bbl intake to accept the 2-bbl carb and enclosure.
-
You would at least need the Golden Hawk 2-barrell manifold. (But more importantly, why would someone want to do this?
) -
Assuming "bolt in" means every fastener, wire connection, bracket will mate up with no modification.........False.
-
I know that R-5051 was bought new by Bob Caser in October of 1963 and he still owns it. (The car was originally delivered to my family's dealership then traded to a dealer in NJ from whom Bob purchased it.)
-
We will have to 'agree to disagree' on this one.
-
I will say false. I'm pretty sure the outlet (back plate) has to be 're-clocked' to line up with the 4 barrel bonnet. Also, there is no provision on the GT to operate the high/low ratio solenoid. Plus, it just won't look right

Improved rear quarter window latch.
-
Ash tray (receiver)?
-
Assuming the "assembly" includes a bulb, the answer is false. The '54s were 6 volt.
-
IIRC, it was urethane but was Deltron by Ditzler. So answer is false...............
-
If it's a R2 or R3 and doesn't have the proper fuel pump with the fitting for the boost signal (or if someone has disconnected the boost signal line running down fuel pump) -- it could feel like it's running out of gas under boost.
-
Well, I might get push-back on this one..............but I've noticed that when you try to get maximum caster adjustment, the rubber dust seal seems to limit how far you can go. I've often toyed with the idea of cutting the dust seal to see how much extra (if any) caster could be gained. Sure, I know that this may increase the chance of dirt/water contamination, which is why I haven't tried it; but if you grease the pins per the shop manual's recommended frequency, this might at least minimize the contamination.
Long story short, my answer is yes, by cutting off the dust seal.
Let the flaming begin

I thought it meant 'primed'.
77 Avanti on Ebay...
in 1965-83 Avanti

Don't know the seller, but that Avanti II sure has a nice rake to it. Looks a lot different that the Avanti II's of this era that I've seen.
