Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Now that's a switch!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4576057966&indexUR L=4&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting Can you imagine the F*#d crowd trying to figure out what the heck version of a 289 was in this truck. Challenge: What clues narrow down the year of V-8 in this truck ? I'll toss out a couple: Two hole valve covers (changed in mid-production in 196*) Delco window distributor (used only in 196* and 196*) Generator(not Alternator) (switched in 196*) Others? I'm guessing early 62, the distributor may not be factory stock. (used only in 61 except Hawk) > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4576057966&indexUR L=4&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Generator(not Alternator) (switched in 196*) > Others?

Hawk 53 Starlight It's an early '62 truck motor for trucks larger than 3/4 ton. The Champ type trucks had 2 bolt thermostat housings. My 7 E 40 had a Delco window distributor also but not sure if it was factory equipped with one. Jack Too bad ol' Sonny deserted us for the SDC Forum...this truck is only 25 miles from Buffaloona (isn't that how he spelled it?). $200 for the truck...but a free Studebaker 289 w/OD tranny comes with it!
