Sure, roller cam too. And don't use 50 wt oil! With modern thin low tension rings, it will rev to the moon, and make more horsepower than you ever imagined!
-
The doors are not one adjustment at the mounting. That is they have room to loosen the bolts, and make adjustments then tighten the bolts.
-
I worked on both these cars. The one in question hasn't run in many years. I wouldn't attempt it without going through it completely. The Turquiose one I recently refreshed the valvetrain.
-
55 was also the last year for the floating oil pickup tube. Earlier 232 oil pumps had spiral gears instead of spur gears.
-
I built an engine with both the full flow and the by-pass filter on top. You can't have too clean oil in my opinion.

Usually it is the mechanical sweep sticking on the ring magnet inside the tach. You will have to center the magnet, and set it with superglue. Usually they hit around 2500 RPM.

Belt line door glass exterior seal and interior 'wiskers' replacement
brad replied to Dick M's topic in 1965-83 Avanti
A 67 would be the same as Studebaker versions. The outer rubber is replaceable and slides into the stainless channel. Available from SI. No need to reinvent the wheel. -
DO versions were generally yellow. One I had was very clean, but I could see how it would be a problem on neglected maintenance.
-
I hope Lew sees this, and has his prototype 4 dr shell donated too. That would free up his enclosed trailer.
-
If you're going to the expense of upgrading to forged pistons, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a modern ring package so you can use thinner low friction rings and/or zero gap 2nd rings.

False. For some reason Avantis used a T-86 threes speed rather than the T-85. The T85 is what became the T-10 with the reverse moved into the tail housing.
-
They were listed as 1750 stall whereas, Avantis are 2500 ish. I have had Avanti converters made for 3000 rpm stall.
-
False. GH didn't have a higher stall.
-
Fuel drains, also the hard lines for fuel and vacuum are hard plumbed without the need for rubber seals.
