A few images from AOAI 2024 Detroit.

Couldn’t find someone to rebuild my failed ’63 Avanti auto trans. So…I started collecting parts to convert the auto trans to manual – using the 3-speed manual trans, bell housing, and driveshaft from my ’63 R1. Short about 10 parts – some “standard parts” - pins and washers); also needed are pressure plate, disc, release bearing, and bolts (available from Dave Thibeault) – I then found a shop to repair the auto trans. Asking $1,900.00. Will sell as kit only. Can deliver to AOAI 2024 Detroit – or your pickup in Michigan’s Bay Region. Can provide bill-of-materials and applicable Avanti part numbers and illustrations from parts book.

Very nice & thank you, Lew! Bill

Keeps getting more complicated - removed Champion J12YC ( C may be a G?) - made in USA. Rock Auto has ACDelco R43S (copper plus at $1.62), Champion 10 (copper plus at $1.78), Motorcraft SP474 (nickel at $3.76), ACDelco 7 (platinum at $3.07), and ACDelco 41833 (double platinum - pricy at $5.68 ea). Quite the variation in "upgraded" plugs. Worth the bucks? See screen print. Thanks to all!

Thanks to all!

What plugs should be used on my '63 R2? ...appreciate thoughts & thanks.
