I bought Nostalgic Motor Cars new New Aftermarket high performance electronic distributor, 45,000 volt canister coil and a set of Silicone high performance spark plug wires. I bypassed the front resistance of the old coil (like written in new distributor document). Everything works fine, but yesterday I drove without the metal shield and tried the coil by hand. It was so hot you couldn't hold your hand in it. Is the coil supposed to be this hot? Should i worry? https://www.nostalgicmotorcars.net/store/p253/Studebaker_Avanti_1963-64_and_all_Studebaker_V-8_1951-1964_Distributor%2C_Coil%2C_Plug_Wires..html#/

Luckily, my pump had another mistake when the fuel pumps top breather hole was drilled bigger and forgot to leave it open. Now I saw how it came out of the hole. If it had been closed as it should be in the R2 version, that oil would have gone along the connecting pipes to the supercharger and through connection to the carburetor. It would be surprising when there is oil in the carburetor. PS. If somebody R2 owner has oil in carburetor, its clear from where it comes.🤔

Is someboy like to see pictures about the problem and how I solved it. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rdi288204vqk3na53ck8f/AJxXi7neuRrLrWQog3JydUw?rlkey=2eaafbpxrrd7b3kf4m1kpsyeq&dl=0

Hi Stefan, Here in Finland. Gray and same interior + 4-speed R2 🙂 R2 1963 #R4543. Im ready to help you here in Europe , Finland.

Yes, that was a problem too. When I got the valve in order, running at low revs clearly improved. The cause of the oil leak was entirely in the oil seal of the pump diaphragm, which did not work from the beginning. It released oil onto the diaphragm. The upper part of the fuel pump acted as an "oil pump" spraying the oils out. I just didn't understand how the pump works so I would have realized it right away.

I use Red Line Power Steering Oil. Have used STP Power Steering also. I think all suits which says "Power Steering Oil". The price is not important because my Stude Avanti is not cheap and deserves good oil.😀 Red Oil is compatible with petroleum's and synthetics so you dont need to worry to clean whole power steering. if anyone has other recommendations or I'm wrong, please correct me. Just now Im planning to install filter to inlet.
