Likely just an Asian replacement for the original. Toyota used the same (Sumitomo) system on their Crown model, and it was 2.25" vs the 2.125 used by Studebaker. You can upgrade to the 2.25 pistons on your car also. The parts list is is on studebaker-info.org

thanks all..

The switch should be accessible without removing the column. It requires some contortion to get under and work on it. The parts are readily available. The switch rod may fall out once the electrical assembly is off (tape it onto the column, once the switch is off)

What would be the source of a mount to accomplish this?/ thx

Looking to contact the owner who advertised this car on B-A-T https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963-studebaker-avanti-24/#comment-5331908 Would anyone reading this, know who it is?

I've seen this a few years ago and now it's for sale https://www.autotrader.ca/a/avanti%20ii/r/winnipeg/manitoba/19_11731306_/?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&orup=36_95_95&pc=N5V%200A2&sprx=-1

That appears to have a fuel return/vapor release ("this side up") outlet. No Avanti I ever heard of used one. You have to have a higher fuel pressure pump to offset the bleed off. If you have a fuel tank return line on your chassis, this could be a nice asset.

Yes, thank all. I'm still looking at this...

Yes, I've verified the contact, thanks.

Hello all, I am in negotiations to sell one of my cars and the respondent is a fellow named Jean Claude Legros. We have had extensive email back and forth and he says he recently purchased an Avanti on the west coast, using a Schumacher Logistics to transport the vehicle. The last conversation was one that tripped some flags, as he indicated this transport company will be the payer and pickup entity. The company is real, as is the person I was told to contact just gave me their details. I'm just doing some diligence. Does anyone here know this individual? thanks

I believe the rear one was the return to spray the cooled oil on the innards as it dropped to the pan...
