Thanks for that tip, it is exactly what I needed. In response to Michael's question about mounts all is brand new. The oil pan is probably not chevy as it is chrome, likely chinese crap that may be the source of clearance problem.

I recently installed 51r in mine, was able to use factory mounting points, I made a bracket for across the top out of aluminum it has abit of a twist at the end to accept the hooked end of the hold down which angles down to factory reinforced hole in fender. Other than having to turn a few more threads on factory verticle hold down post no modification to car is needed. I plan on shrink tube wrapping cross bracket and notching near positive post.

I have a 63 with SBC, had to dimple oil pan to clear bell crank. Not much clearance even so, 4 or 5 mm

Drip oil onto cable housing down the lenght of it, housing is coiled steel oil will seep in no problem. In the event that doesnt work there are rubber plugs up in the fender wells you can stick a screwdriver up into and release the latches, one on both sides. Guy

Yes thats where it goes. As far as your 6 wires they go into a rubber block that mates to your other 6 wire connector, photos of block with wires removed and connector on wire harness,also wires from turn signal to go into rubber block

I have had a pair on back order with Studebaker international for over a year, bought a used pair that were rather bent from Meyers for an outragous price, I want a pair of new ones as well. Guy

I like the idea of 17" halibrand style wheels, I would be interested. Guy

The panel vinyl is supposed to wrap over the window edge and be glued down before window install.

Its true that the stock tire is taller than what you have, but the stock size fills the wheel well better so the body does not appear to be too high above tire.

I have Turners on one of my Avantis and it needs spacers on front stock wheels in order to clear calipers. I cant speak for magnums, the clearance issue is one thing I dislike about the Turner set up.

California 1975 and older is still exempt from smog, the Leno law would have changed that to cars being 35 years or older being exempt. Once upon a time it was twentyfive years or older were exempt. Most cars 2000 and newer its only a visual inspection with motor running but no sniffer in the tail pipe.

I wish there were a some sort of search engine for the AOAI forums, by topic, old posts get buried, relevant discussions from the past are hard to find. Ive been on this forum a couple of years and I know Ive read something about a particular subject but then am unable to find it, so I start scrolling back through the old posts, was that info in 63/64 or did I see it in Avanti II, or was it trivia,or a pub dicussion. I would like to see a search engine for the site where you could enter a topic and all posts relative, regardless of which forum would be available in one spot. Hows that for an idea? Guy

Someone posted a photo of markings in glove box vanity, I found these markings on glove box door.

Didnt like the way it felt so I decided to take it apart, bend tabs out of way and it comes apart easily, pull apart remove insulator, cleaned traces and contacts with 400 grit and back together
