'83 differential cover gasket?

[Dayla]

I want to consult you all before I try to get a cover gasket for the diff at a parts store where the people have never even heard of an Avanti XD.  Sorry the pic is upside down. Not sure why. Thanks for your time!

Yes, no problem, just order a rear end cover gasket for any vehicle using a Dana '44' differential.....such as the front differential in a '80-'90 Dodge four wheel drive pickup truck......Pinion seal same application.

Most auto parts should have FEL-PRO.

I got this at ROCKAUTO.

Yes, the fact that many of the parts, (at least mechanical parts), found on post Studebaker Avantis are common to other vehicles of the same era make it a whole lot easier to own & drive one of these babies!

It is nice that Fel-Pro lists it, but it would be better, and easier to search for, if they spelled Studebaker correctly.

And yes, howww do they get that wrong....kids today.....😑😅
