  1. REAL RODDERS WHEELS

    in 1963-64 Avanti

    Posted

    WHO OUT THERE HAS HALIBRANDS WITH SPINNERS THAT HAVE FLOWN OFF?

    My former owner lost one and I lost another

    Real Rodders wheels says this was original design held on by an O ring

    You can 

    1) Get Acquarium sealer and put 2 dabs inside

    2) Get a Bigger O ring

     

    My solution... LIKE AMERICAN RACING WITH SPINNERS.. DRILL AND USE A SET SCREW

    WEIGH IN AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. ELECTRIC PRIMER FUEL PUMP FOR R2 AVANTI

    in 1963-64 Avanti

    Posted

    Hi Friends:

    What brand of draw through pump with 3/8 Inch fittings, 5-7 PSI , 12 volt to be used in line only as a primer

    We used a MR. GASKET  Pump.. With the Pump off AND WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, the pump is restrictive and starves the carbuertor

    so you have to keep the fuel pump on.. I just need a primer pump to use when the car sits for a long while.. Thanks

  5. AIR CONDITONING SWITCH

    in 1963-64 Avanti

    error in original post

    1963 R2 has been converted to Airconditoning with Factory Vent Plate, Temp Switch and

    Rheostat control.. The rheostat switch worked for about a second

    Have Not put a meter on it.. Have not  run wires  to look for fuse yet..

    I did find a wire that was not connected and wonder if anyone knows what this could be  ?? Looks like a female spade connector end

    In the event this switch is dead is there any kind of replacement?  Not sure if Stude International has one.. they are looking

     

    Appreciate thoughts

  10. Wonky Vacuum Boost Gauge

    in 1963-64 Avanti

    Posted

    My 1963 R2 Avanti arrived a few days ago and I am getting used to it.  

    I notice the vacuum boost gauge is very slow..

    It seems to get up to 10 and stays there and with the car shut off it will stay there and finally come down after 30 minute or more

    Wit acceleration in 4th gear and supercharger activated I do not see any register of boost (should be at least 3 to 5)

    I have a boost gauge on my golden hawk and I am able to see boost with acceleration.

    1. Can we lube the gauge or does this take special tools/skills/repair

    2. Referrals for gauge repair if needed .. anyone been through this?

     

    Thanks Keith

  13. INTERIOR LIGHTS

    Thanks Ron.. Here is progress

    The courtesy light requires a single filament dual terminal bulb

    Not sure about courtesy lights but I believe the switch should be cleaned ..The socket seems to work with the dual filament dual terminal bulb and is not controlled

    by the switch.. stays on all the time.. So I will clean the switch and test with both bulbs

     

    Appreciate your help

    Ok.. got the lights working sort of...Changed bulbs

    Tried LED's (they bayonets are very tought to push in as are the regular filament bulbs

    They function but they do not turn off

    There is power to the sockets

    Courtesy light wont turn off and neither will interior lights

    Wiring looks ok.. whats next?

    I definitely will do that of course.. This is a restored car with 800 miles on it that I just purchased.  Owner said he

    never paid attention (I always know if I have a battery issue on my 63 R1 because the courtesy light is or is not working

    That's what drew my attention to the lights.  I got some extra parts with the car and there were 2 new door switches.

    I understand only the courtesy is operated by the door switch.. 

    Thanks

  22. wire wheels

    in 1965-83 Avanti

    Posted

    I had wire wheels on my 63 and could not wait to be rid of them (they were Dayton's)

    5 flats with the inner tubes and maintenance. due to chrome flaking on inside and creating sharp points that punctured the inner tubes

    Best decision ever to sell them and exchange for American Racing Salt flat wheels!
