For my 84 305 a z28 pump was a perfect fit.
Airtex 41216

Do you have specific part numbers for the carb and HEI that you used? I should do this to my 84 305.

The fees are getting out of hand. I rented a car at PHX 2 weeks ago from Payless. The car itself was only $9/day, but taxes and fees were over $15/day on top of that.

I thought there were 2 of them at the auto show in Chicago in 2006.

I missed the touring coupe part. Neither of mine was a touring coupe...
Looking at the Avanti registry I see several touring coupes with black headlight rings and several with body color. I like it better with body color...
-
My old 84 had body color headlamp buckets with no covers. My present 84 has body colored buckets and clear covers held on with chrome or stainless rims.

When I'm that guy its because I can't see the turn signal lights at all from my normal driving position. The lip of the dash is in the way. I have to bend my head down to see them.

There was an ad for such wood parts in Avanti magazine. Seller was Michael Couture 260-829-1283.

On my 84 there was a disconnected wire behind the AC controls. When I hooked it up the AC worked but the fan rehostat got VERY hot after a few minutes. I disconnected the wire again and haven't messed with it since.

Dang... I would have gone had I known about the show in advance.
-
I don't remember where I got the information, but the one I bought is a NAPA 7686. I haven't installed it yet.

I just ordered a set for my '84.
Thanks for your efforts in reproducing them...

Does anyone know which celebrity owned this 2002 convertible?
-
Dang,
I thought I had ordered one a few months ago, but I never got it...
I've been meaning to check my records, but never got around to it.

My policy is to never read any story with a headline that starts with a number. They are always useless crap.
In this case, I had to look...
No opinion on the Lincoln, but I like the other 4 cars in the story.
-
It would be a good idea to apply some dielectric grease to the bulb and socket contacts to keep the fresh surfaces from corroding again.

I wish you luck with the Illinois SoS office...
I've been trying to get them to fix the title on my 84 RQB4006 for 2 months now.
They put Studebaker as the Make, and I'm trying to get it corected to Avanti Motors.
They had me send them the title, which I did over 6 weeks ago.
I called today to check on it, and was told that they remember working on it, but they lost it.

According to John Hull's book Avanti The Complete Story, RQB 3716 is a Blake Avanti from 1983. One of 212 made that year.
The totals are 2252 Altman cars from 65-82, 576 Blake cars from 83-85, 346 Kelly cars from 87-88, 272 Cafaro cars from 89-91, and about 90 more from Kelly in 01-07.

Apparently, the deal fell thru...
Someone with a feedback rating of 1 bought it for $2500, but now it has been re-listed.

Skip...
I can understand the Feds requirements, though. Not all use either fog or driving lights properly. I've seen way too many cars using fog lights when there's no fog for them to cut through.
I strongly agree with this. Many cars have fog lights which are brighter than the headlights to oncoming vehicles. It should be illegal to use fog lights when there is no fog.

If you use a spray, 3M #80 is supposed to be the best for hi-temp applications.

Last minute change in plans for me today... I just found out that a friend is driving in the demo derby at the McHenry county fair, so I will be going there instead of Union.
I'll try to make it to the Chicago Chapter meeting at Mr. Beef & Pizza in September.
Thanks,
Paul

A friend just told me about this, otherwise I would have missed it completely...
It's only 1/2 hour from home for me, so I hope to make it there if the weather cooperates.
I doubt if I'll enter my gold '84 in the show, but you may see it in the parking lot.
It says that the "Avanti Owners" club (and SDC) will be represented, and shows a few thumbnails of Avantis.
AOAI certainly hasn't advertised this. Why not???
I've been trying to make it to a Chicago AOAI chapter meeting since joining AOAI a few years ago, but either I forget, the weather sucks, or I have something else going on.
It's funny that the local chapter has not tried to contact me even once in the 2 years I've been an AOAI member.

Sorry to say Richard, but those gangster rims really ruin the car IMO.
To each, his own...

I think that's the lot my cousin works at.
I'll have to give him a call
