1978 Questions

[mgtdsteve]

I am a new owner of a 1978 Avanti 2 and I have some questions for you more experienced owners:

1. Which vendors carry the most parts for these cars?

2. The 350 and the turbo 400 are standard GM and use nothing weird as they are in an Avanti?

3. Is there a good service chart for the car? Recommended Lubricants. grease points, etc.

4. The cruise control doesn't where can I find a good troubleshooting procedure?

5. Where is the fuse block?

6. There was restored a while ago, what are the general problem areas I should check out.

Thanks for your help, Steve

1 - Nostalgic motors, Wixom, Mi - Studebaker International - Jon Myers

2 - Stock as the SBC's they are bolted to. Rear end is Dana 44 though

3 - Owner Manual - Pretty much as any car of that era. I have a 74 manual

4 - Get the wiring diagram from Bob Johnstone http://www.studebaker-info.org/tech/Diagrams/aec/aec.html

5 - Under the dash - left side

6 - Drive the hell out of it and find out.
