  1. Notes here http://studebaker-info.org/rjtechjan2023p1.html#85av
  2. oil flowback from the heads
  3. Electrics have their learning curve also
  4. If you changed out the mechanical pump and didn't have to fight fuel running out of the supply hose, then that would indicate the problem is likely not the pump.
  5. Just throwing this out there.... A majority of the moonroof leaks are likely caused by lack of attention to the drains. If they are kept free of debris, it could minimize the issue
  6. The bars were installed by myself. The rear wasn't any problem, but recall the front was a bit of work. When the rear broke loose, I repaired the torn section of frame underplate wt\ith 10 gauge rolled steel, tack welded the strut back and also drilled the side frame flange and installed 3/8", grade 8 bolts.
  7. The larger diameter bars do change the handling to a much firmer stance. If you add super duty shocks, like Bilsteins or Konis, cornering feels like you're on rails. One negative result I had was that the rear strut L-channel on the passenger side was ripped loose from the frame, so both rear mounts were reinforced.
  8. Are you using the correct lube ? Many vendors have a semi fluid grease that won't run.
  9. I would think the lockup feature on a TH350 is a great addition. It only drops the RPM a hundred or two, but in that you get a little bit of an increase in fuel mileage, a little less engine wear and you don't have to fear that temperature stigma on a 700R4.
  10. You might not be aware but there is a replacement from a Dodge Dart (70's) that looks exactly the same and adds a "knob push" to wash feature that runs a washer fluid pump ( at least some do) https://studebaker-info.org/Tech/PDF/Wiper/wiper.html
