The only other thing I can think of is the oil pan timing cover filler.

Another good thought!...However, the engine part which I'm looking for was particularly referenced in an article printed in 'AVANTI MAGAZINE' Issue 167.

HINT....Although this part may be installed on any Studebaker V8,....It was STANDARD EQUIPMENT on all Avanti 'R' type engines!
