mfg Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Anyone know what the major difference was between some 1963 pre-production Studebaker Avanti R2 air filter housings and production housings? (Besides very early ones not being plated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe there was a bracket position change...but something else on the housing definitely WAS changed! Any other thoughts here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regnalbob Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 The fitting for the breather tube hose was located on the side of the filter near the valve cover. At least one prototype had no fitting for the breather tube hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
