All the drip rails I have seen were polished stainless steel not aluminum.

Nope, they were CCW for some cars, like Corvairs

The ORIGINAL and EARLY McCulloch superchargers had a bakelite clutch under the races. They were not pinned or fastened in any way, and would slip (on purpose) when boost exceeded the set solenoid regulator pressure. This slipped the outer races to the same RPM as the input shaft and ball driver, thereby stopping the balls and any slippage and resulting heat and galling. By the time they went to V8 models, and higher RPMs then they pinned the races as the clutches would burn at the higher RPM.

Your year Avanti uses the same bendix calipers as the original Studebaker Avanti. NOT the ones listed in Rock Auto. Sorry, they are about $200, not $40. The little button on the piston is there for pad retraction, There is a pin inside the caliper, and there is a friction clutch inside the caliper piston, There is a spring that pulls the piston back a pre-determined amount every time you release the brake pedal.That in turn pulls back the pad, via the button that the pad slides over. It will still work ok, without the pad sliding over the button, but it would be better if you had it. The only thing may be a little bit more squealing, and some slightly increased pad wear.

False, it's two straps

it's the lower shock mount that is different. False

http://www.turnswitch.com/speakers.htm I do know I have used these, and they sounded much better than originals. They have them in the correct impedance.

Excellent quality. Fit on one end was slightly off, but it may have been the slight damage to the outer end I re-used. Much better than the later Avanti II bumpers with the crease across the length of the top. Much better than most rechrome shops. I have had peeling on the back sides, marks where they straighten on the back side, and waves, and grind marks that were unacceptable on rechromed units. None of that is true with the new ones. You will have to find the large cage nuts and use them on the new.

Datsun. not sure which model.

No, they are not that hard to find. One bidder is I would guess related to the seller, and not a genuine bidder. The other bidder knew this and played him then dropped out. No sale.!

Dr. Lamberti?

Is it the stock engine? later Chevy engines used a reverse flow cooling system (LT-1) . If yours was reversed, or a serpentine belt setup with a stock water pump. That would be the only way there is suction on the top hose. If that is the case you need to replace the water pump with the correct reverse rotation pump.

The front U-joint

Wheel color went from "Wimbleton White" to a brighter white .
-
Emblem "S" color went from gold to silver.

Shim the mounting from the bottom of the casting. It lowers the whole assembly. Starter shims for a Chevy work well, because you don't have to completely remove the bolts.

There's nothing wrong with four piston calipers with drilled and slotted rotors either.

BTW, I do have a PPG formula for Avanti Gray.

I never understood the limited access to cleaning out the hog troughs. They sure made it easy for things to get in.
