Avanti Reservoir!

[mfg]

'Some' Avantis have a reservoir which holds exactly 8 ozs. of 'fluid'....what is that reservoir for?

Sounds about the right volume for the single piston brake master cylinder on the 63-64's

Excellent guess!.....Have to check the volume of that master cylinder to know for sure....but that's really not the answer we're looking for here.

The supercharger lube.

^{I think a reservoir is different from a sump. I believe a sump is integral, and a reservoir seperate from. At least that has been my understanding.}

And I think your talking semantics brad!!

A reservoir is a receptacle for fluid, so a sump would be a special type of reservoir. Or, all sumps are reservoirs, but not all reservoirs are sumps.
