I looked in the chasis catalog tonight but can not determine if I need
a standard water pump or an Avanti water pump for my 63 R1 Wagonaire.
I am putting this wagon back together from a box of parts. The prior

Just purchased an Avanti water pump. It is in the mail. Would like to
know if it will fit the pully arrangement on my 63 Hawk 289 2 bbl with
factory air?  My car has the factory 5 blade fan with fan clutch. Any
body done this?   jimmijim

in the mail today, I got...

alternating sheets of aluminum and gasket paper)

Does anyone know if the Avanti (II's) used the 30-spline axles in the
Dana 44's?  This is a 78 model (non posi) unit and I'm trying to find

spline" axles.

All Things Considered just had a nice interview with one of the judges
for this weekend's Pebble Beach Concours.  This year's featured marque
is Delahaye.  If you missed it, you can probably find it online at
pbs.org,

Wikipedia (on-line encyclopedia) says "Acquired in 1954 by Packard
Motors Company of Detroit, Michigan, Studebaker became a division of
the Studebaker Packard Corporation from 1954 to 1962. In 1962 it
reverted to its previous name, the Studebaker Corporation."

I want to add cruise control to my 53 coupe. Who has done this on there
Stude?
Any recommendations for one that works good.

Does anyone have a good '53 Commander passenger side window regulator?
Part number 307316.
Thanks for your reply---

What color was the engine block and valve covers on the 1955 V-8 Truck
engines?
Thanks Much

It seems as though this came up recently but I can't find it now. Where is
the rear axle vent located on a type 44?  The question came up recently and
I would just as soon not have to crawl under the car to find it.

According to this website http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Packard/
The mistake Packard made was to close their Detroit factory and consolidate
production in South Bend. Apparently the SB plant wasn't designed to make
cars as wide as the Packard, and by the time management ...

Has anyone used the new Dave T-bow Distributor? looks like a nice piece.
If you want to spend that much, I think the gas savings may be worth the
price.
