The AT in my new-to-me '63 R2 is sick - suspect a rebuild is needed. What's availability of parts for a rebuild?
-
I've got the same issue...inconvenient to get into car now - will look for further posts on this. Thanks.
-
OK 1innx: I'll buy yours!
-
Thank you and no thank you, Gunslinger - I seek original. Why? ...because.
-
Looking for - how would one say? - a "Driver Quality" Studebaker jack and jack handle.
...hope to never need them but one never knows!!
Thanks, BillyBob
-
Have you tried Dan Booth at Nostalgic Motors?
-
OK - got it on check valve.
??...how is NAPA p/n NBB5473603 for direct replacement ??
-
Looking for power brake booster check valve. Parts manual indicates p/n: 1156983. Source, please.
While I'm in the neighborhood, where to go for a rebuild of the power brake booster?
Thanks.
-
Thanks - why didn't I think to look in the workshop manual???
-
A while back I saw a descriptive for removing the dash panel - as I recall, with experience, it mentioned needing about 45 minutes to remove it.
Who might have a description for removal of a 1963 R1 with a/c instrument (dash) panel?
Many thanks, Bill

Tom, many thanks - I appreciate your sharing the experience, Bill.

I'm looking at adding disc brakes on the rear of my 1963 R1, standard shift. What to watch for?
-
It is my understanding that 1963 R1s with a/c had seven blade engine fans and were painted orange, some call it "Chevrolet orange". What says the forum? Is there a paint code? Further, non-a/c cars had five blade engine fans and were painted black. And, the forum says...

Still available?
-
The 1963 Avanti Workshop Manual specifies an SAE 6 fuse for the brake lamps. I'm not doing well on a conversion.
Could AWG-6 be an acceptable substitute?
Thanks...

regnalbob - Just looked at Rock Auto. # RC1. Gives me RC11 when I search. RC11 does not appear to have a wire connector.
-
Many thanks - I appreciate the help!
-
The wire on my '63 R1 alternator condenser came loose - what is a replacement, please?
-
Good assumption. However, new rag joint comes without screw. It is a unique screw - no longer available.
-
The 12-point screw on my '63 Avanti that secures the clamp at the rag joint on the steering column has seen better days. I understand it is not available. What do others do when substituting the screw? Ref.: Illustration no. 1301-7, p/n 1557280. Thanks, Bill

regnalbob, illustration 2101-168 is p/n 526600X9. Illustration 2101-76, according to the Parts Catalog is p/n 526600X1. In my Parts Catalog, dated July 1963, these are detailed on pages 152 (2101-76) and 153 (2101-168). Question: do either of your Avantis have a/c and is clip (illustration 2101-76, p/n 195407) used on the heater hoses at the front of the right-hand rocker cover?
-
Thank you, regnalbob. My reference is to 2101-76, not 2101-168, in the Plate you attached. Thank you for your interest. I believe the "lacer" (spacer? - apparent typo) is a flat washer.
-
64 studeavanti: yes, a/c and heater only cars have different heater hose routing. This is covered in detail in the Authenticity Manual, pages B-8 (a/c) and B-18&19 (heater only).
-
Hey, Brad - I want what you have (that clamp)!! What does clip, lacer (spacer?), p/n 526600X1 look like?
AT - availability of parts for rebuild ?
in 1963-64 Avanti
