I remember reading that the Avanti R1 Carter Carburetor was model number 3506S and it
had a rating of 637 CFM.

Lou Cote' figured it out. The other ground is for the rear seat speaker...

I am changing the float on my Avanti. There is a yellow wire with two wires coming out of it that looks factory however someone put a blue connector on it and that is not connected to anything. Further down on the tank it looks like the wire was spliced and someone put a clear connector on it. What a mess.The wires to the extreme right red and blue are a "Mickey Mouse" speaker wire. See photos on SDC Forum.

Do you mean Warren Cortesi in tacoma, WA?

On the East Coast, Atlas products were the in store brand for all Esso Service Stations.

The carpet was loose. The jack and handle were in the wheel well under the plywood access door.

As crazy a it sounds. the factory letter specified painting the Tenite Woodgrain steering wheel black to match everything else!
-
This is a deviation that has been documented. The factory was having problems with the adhesive used to hold the woograin panels in place. There will be a full discussion of this in The Authenticity Manual that will be available for order in the next issue of Avanti Magazine. Stay Tuned!

I think Jon Myer and Dave Thibeualt sell a kit.

The tilt wheel used in the Studebaker Avanti is a Delco part that was used in certian Chevys of the same era. They are very rare and hard to find. We cover this with photos and a part number in the soon to be available Authenticy Manual. I don't have the time right now to start sending out photos from the manual. Job #1 right now is to get the book done. Al Basile

The manual is over 350 full color pages. We took the extra time to get it right. I know it has taken a long time; but it will be worth the wait. Al Basile

Was the glass for the Studebaker Avanti made by one manufacturer?

Hi Larry - Al Basile. I spoke to you about the Authenticity Manual. Please send me your email address -- alanbasile@gmail.com.

Looks like a nice original car. If you have repair papers or anything that documents the mileage -- that's a plus. I would advertise it in Avanti Magazine. Contact Lew Schucart at editor@aoai.org. If it were me, I would spend the money to get it running. Otherwise, you will get low-balled on the price.

False

Thank you, MFG. A few people have told me that the motor was switched in '85. It's our Chapter president's Avanti. We'll see what is up when he takes the door apart.
-
Part of their 401(K) has my name on it! Anyone have a part number?
-
True...

Does anyone know what motor "Mr. Blake" used in these cars. My pasenger side motor does not work.
-
Since thick back seats were the last upgrade made to the Studebaker Avanti, they are a rare item -- only about 300 cars had them! . I predict these "Late 1964" cars will begin to increase in value at a quicker pace than any other Stude Avanti. That makes saving the thick back seats worthwhile. Just my opinion!

I owned R5408 for a while. Would be interested in talking to you. I now own 5432.
