A question for one of you guys who knows '55's.  Will the parking light
housing (extension of grill) from a passenger car fit a C/K?  Are they the
same part?
Thanks

yeah, the SuperLark on the cover, and article inside
also a studebaker ad, with big Avanti pic, and smaller pics of the other

I've got my transmission (a T86 with OD) about back together but ran
into a couple of problems.
The minor one is I've got the low/reverse shift fork in backwards so
once again I've got to take it apart again.

   I've been using Dave Lester DWG waterless car wash for over a year
and love the stuff. Don't be put off by the cost, it goes a long way
once you see how little you need.
    I just got in a bottle of the new "Ulta-Ion" stuff in from dave and

I am pleased to announce as of today Phil Harris is taking over our parts
business.  We will still do some supercharger work and selling the new flanged
axles but for all other parts, please contact Phil.
We have known Phil for about 40 years, as we first met at the NHRA Nationals ...

OK... time for some dumb newbie questions:
1) will an Offenhauser manifold with a spacer/adapter and AFB fit under
the hood of a 55 C-K?  I'm running this with a 14" air cleaner on my
Lark and would like to move it over if I could.

Ebon, email me, will ya? I need an AC bracket.

I went ahead and bought the JP/N8 64 ragtop last night. It has become a
sickness! I now have my 52 ragtop, a 62 ragtop, and 2 64 ragtops! Maybe I
need to cut the top off my Avanti too! NOT!
I am fast becoming the "Lee DeLaBarre" of central Indiana <G>  Pretty soon,

We held out Feb meeting out in Crystal River at a great campground (condo'd
is more like it) that has an outdoor pavilion and an indoor meeting room.
Had about 15 or so Stude's drive there. Was a bit chilly (low 60's or so),
but they had a huge fire pit with a bunch of logs at ...

Wow, I hope this thing came with a certificate of authenticity,
because there are people that reproduce these types of tags. I think I
have seen the reproduced Studebaker tags like this sell for about
$30.00 and there's certainly more of a need for those! <G>

I am redoing a '56 Sky Hawk with the original black and white interior
scheme but am unsure as to what the windlace color should be.  I
removed the old shredded and hanging original stuff years ago and
through it away.  I could not even tell what color it was originally.

N8 and me were watching Overhauling on TV. One thing they did is drop in
a crate Chevy 350 cu.in. Z motor with a Vortex blower. When they were
done it pulled 352 HP at the rear wheels, just 13 less than the Plain
Brown Wrapper. <g>

  Wish I had the money to restore the 2 R2's and my other cars here
without selling Goldie, but such is life. It's here with a 25K reserve.

What are if any the differences in the heads used on a 259 ('55) and
the heads on a '63 289?
Thanks,

My sweet little 55 President State coupe is now mechanically sound
so.................. spent Sunday cleaning her up and drove her 30 miles to
work down 95.  I've driven her 55 on local roads and she seems fine.  Had
some trepidations about 70 mph for 30 miles, but she treated me ...
