Need some tips to replace the crank area with new parts. Looks like I have everything (driver side crank) to replace but will be unable to press in holding pins on cover without separating from rest of the entire 1 piece mechanism assembly. Any ideas appreciated.

Sorry I was wrong on above post. Here is a picture of spring in position. Longest arm on spring is in the right spot on your carb and will attach correctly to the choke lever. Dan

The spring is on backwards. Tall arm hocks on notch in chock arm facing to the firewall. Bottom part hooks on to notch on lower part of same chock arm and I don't see it your picture. Dan

What are the original carburetors and intake manifolds used on RQA 327 300hp engines? Height and ORIGINAL numbers are Important. Were Carters original equipment? How about a low profile intake manifold? I have seen Early RQA's with a Studebaker Avanti style air cleaner but don't know what carb its on (4 7/32 neck) ? Thanks RQA 217

Third Place at the 1969 National Studebaker Meet. Turns out it was also the 2nd GT R2 displayed at the 1963 Chicago Auto Show according to the build sheet. I found one picture of the show where you can see a corner of it.

Hey Nelson ! The best part of the Gold GT Hawk story was when I called the Montgomery Police Department and told them "A horse ran into my Car ! " This was a very memorable thread. Nelson is the greatest guy to know if your are bit by the R3 virus ! Dwight I just got some Avanti interior parts from you a couple months back. MFG is 63R1379 White with an Orange interior? Luma
