Avanti Rotor!

[mfg]

In a pinch, a distributor rotor from a -------- can be used in a Studebaker Avanti.

1) 1955 Stude Commander.....2) 1956 Stude Golden Hawk....or....3) 1959 Stude V8 Lark

Thoughts?

Don'y know the answer...but a rotor from a dual-point Mopar Hemi engine works...in fact...the points, condenser and distributor cap works as well.

I would guess 2) 1956 GH as it has Autolite distributor.

Yes, you are correct, it's a 'drop in' replacement.

Actually…there is a slight difference.  The distributor cap for the Hemi has slightly taller towers but is otherwise the same.  The Avanti cap is shorter due to clearance under the RFI shielding cover.  Depending on spark plug wire configuration it could still fit.
