mfg Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 What major mechanical component, factory installed on the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette, would have to be considered much more technologically advanced than the corresponding 1963 Studebaker Avanti component?

Also, those early GM mechanical fuel injection units were trouble prone, with many 'Vettes so equipped retrofitted with carbs later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
