Automotive Heritage Month

Thanks to the efforts of the National Association

of Automobile Clubs of Canada (NAACC), the provinces

of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are once again

declaring the month of July as “Automotive Heritage

Month.” This special occasion is held concurrently with

“Collector Car Appreciation Day” (CCAD).

Chuck Teuscher

Chuck has been a member of the ACC for a number of

years. He has often travelled all the way from

Altamount in Albany County, NY to join in a club’s

summer activity. This year Chuck drove to Boston, flew

to Halifax and then rented a car to attend this years

Annual General Meeting in Truro. Way to go Chuck!

It was nice to see you once again.

Studebaker Guard shack

“The Studebaker Guard Shack at the main gate

was built in 1928 and was located on the south side of

Sample Street. When the factory buildings were

removed, the 122 sq. ft. building was dismantled and

saved. The gates were also saved along with the brick

columns and limestone finial spheres. Support the

restoration of this landmark through either a financial

donation or a purchase of certain items in the

Studebaker Museum Store.” This statement appears on

the Studebaker National Museum website. At this

point it is not clear where the guard shack will be

located when it is restored.

Members wishing to contribute can do so directly

to the SNM or they can send it to our Treasurer,

Shelley Zwicker and it will be included in a total that

will be sent as an ACC club donation.

Fundraising:

The AGM auction and 50/50 are now the only

two fundraisers in the club. Ron Kervin has

offered to continue to sell items for the club at

the Sussex flea market. He is taking over the task

from Faye & Jerry Germon who did it for the club

for many years. A big ‘THANK YOU’ to them and

their family for all their support. If you have good

quality items that can be sold at the Sussex flea

market get them to Ron or any Executive member

who will send them along.

If anyone has an idea for fundraising or

social events for the club let one of the Executive

know and it will be discussed at the next Executive

meeting.

Telephone Tree

Karen Jarvis has taken over as the NB Prov. Rep.

She has decided to give up as a Telephone Tree

Champion. Roy Germon is looking for a replacement for

Karen. If you would like to help out by making a limited

number of telephone calls to members before each club

event give Roy a call 902-565-5105 [C]

SDC dues increasing

The rate for Canada has jumped from $39 to

$52, which I understand is needed to offset the high

postal costs to Canada - hooray for Canada Post. So

regular renewal is now $13 higher which is about

$17.50CDN - ouch! You can save $12 by renewing for

three years or $24 by renewing for 5 years.

The address for the renewals is on the last page

of Turning Wheels.

Doug Morse

Doug was a member of the ACC for a number of

years while he owned a nice original ‘50 Champion

(Ethyl). He joined us for our AGM this past February

and he wrote “Wanting to tell you how much I enjoyed

coming out to your meeting. So nice to see these friends

again and all connected by the common interest. Sat

across from Doug and Boyd and had nonstop conversation

and laughter. I spoke with Ron (my first real

conversation with him) about his experience on being

part of a “Canadian Pickers” episode a few years back.

He really enjoyed talking about it. Never got to know him

earlier when I belonged to the club. Nice guy. To top off

the whole event, I happened to be talking with Thomas

Steep and low and behold, he is the present owner of

ETHYL! She was bought from Percy Scott (PEI) by

someone in Dartmouth and Thomas bought her from him.

He showed me a photo of her to confirm it. I’ll be

communicating with him with the past history of the car

and photos that I have. I’ll also send him the write-up

you did of ETHYL for TURNING WHEELS awhile ago.

Will keep following your news letters and try to meet up

next year at the meeting. Congrats on another award for

your editorial works.”

StudeNews Award

Once again StudeNews has taken an SDC award.

This year it is a second place for the Bi-monthly/

Quarterly Internet publications. As Editor I get all the

glory, but really so much of the content comes from our

own members and from others across Canada. So kudos

to everyone who has contributed and helped make our

newsletter what it is.

SDC Regional Manager’s Report From Bill Jarvis

As I write this (Mar.22.2020), Spring has arrived,

it’s a nice sunny day, and a lot of snow has disappeared in

the last couple of weeks. It should be time to think

about getting our Studebakers ready to enjoy.

Unfortunately the events we usually attend cannot be

held.

Our Chapter meeting in Riverview NB on April 26,

and our summer picnic on July 18 are among those

cancelled due to Covid-19.

The N.B. Antique Auto Club has cancelled all of its

events until the end of May. A decision will be made in

June about its Jamboree and its Flea Market, both of

which occur in August.

The Speed Sport show in Moncton is cancelled.

Jerry Germon’s 1940 Studebaker opera coupe was to be

part of the N.B. Antique Auto Club display.

The P.E.I. Antique Auto Club has moved its show to

September.

The Tri-Spokes Chapter SDC is still planning the

Northeast Zone Meet in Rutland, Vermont, scheduled for

June 19 to 21. If they are able to hold it, attendance by

Canadian members of SDC will depend on whether the

border has re-opened to pleasure traffic, and on any

other restrictions here or there.

Plans for the S.D.C. International Meet in

Chattanooga, Tennessee from August 5 to 8 are still

being made. Official information on the virus from SDC

may be found on-line at

forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/articles/1825501-sdc-

coronovirus-update .

Stay safe! I think we are fortunate to be in a

country where politicians of all parties are co-operating

and taking serious action instead of bickering on control

of Covid-19. Well-qualified health authorities are

advising on the tough decisions that need to be made.

We just need to be smart enough to do what we are told.

Hopefully in a few months life will return to normal

--- although it may be a “new” normal. Then we will be

able to enjoy our hobby fully again.

News Flash: Volkswagen stops production of the

Bug and introduces new logo and brand in 2020. Volks-

wagen has made three versions of the Beetle, selling

more than 22.5 million of them over the years. Among

passenger cars, the Beetle trails only the Volkswagen

Golf and the Toyota Corolla in popularity. But now it’s

gone, as Volkswagen shifts its attention toward electri-

fied vehicles and beefing up its inventory of the sport

utility vehicles and crossovers customers are buying.

Volkswagen’s last Beetle produced was seen during a

ceremony to announce the cease of production of the

VW Beetle after 21 years in the market, at the Volks-

wagen plant on July 10, 2019 in Cuautlancingo, Mexico.

Considered as the successor of the Volkswagen Type 1,

the Beetle was produced during the 21 years in the

Cuautlancingo plant where it is estimated that over 17

million units were produced. In the 1999 Car of the Cen-

tury Competition, to determine the world's most influen-

tial car in the 20th century, the Type 1 Beetle came

fourth after the Ford Model T, the Mini, and the Citroën

DS. Will this really be the last ever made or will it be

reinvented later?

The need for a ‘people's car’ (Volkswagen in Ger-

man), its concept and its functional objectives were for-

mulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolph Hitler,

who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass produced for

his country's new road network (Reich Autobahn). The

result was the first Volkswagen and one of the first

rear-engine cars made since the Brass Era. May 1934, at

a meeting at Berlin's Kaiser of Hotel, Hitler insisted on a

basic vehicle that could transport two adults and three

children at 100 km/h (62 mph) while not using more than

7 liters of fuel per 100 km (32 mpg US). The engine had

to be powerful enough for sustained cruising on Ger-

many's new Autobahn. Everything had to be designed to

ensure parts could be quickly and inexpensively ex-

changed. The engine had to be air-cooled because, as

Hitler explained, not every country doctor had his own

garage. Ethylene glycol antifreeze was only just starting

to be used in high-performance liquid-cooled aircraft

engines. (In general, water in radiators would freeze

unless the vehicle was kept in a heated building overnight

or drained and refilled each morning.) All cars had the

distinctive round shape and the air-cooled, rear-mounted

engine. Included in this batch was a rollback soft top

called the Cabriole Limousine. After initially building

mostly Beetles for the British military, in 1947 produc-

tion transitioned to civilian Beetles and for the first

time featuring chromed bumpers, hubcaps, and body and

running board trim. Aside from some remaining military

production, civilian output reached almost 9,000 units in

1947, and for 1948 total production increased to 19,244

cars. The late 1940s Beetles still had an under stressed

1131 cc engine with just 25 hp, that could effortlessly

maintain cruising at the car's 60 mph top speed. A batch

of 44VW38 pre-production cars produced in 1938 intro-

duced split rear windows; both the split window and the

dash were retained on production Type 1 until 1953. The

air-cooled 25 hp (19 kw) 995cc (60.7 cu in) motor's built-

in oil cooler, and the flat-four engine configuration's su-

perior performance was also effective for the Germans

in Africa's desert heat. The suspension design used com-

pact torsion bars instead of coil or leaf springs. The

Beetle is nearly airtight and will briefly float.

With 21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the long-

est-running and most-manufactured car of a single plat-

form ever made. Although designed in the 1930s, due to

World War II, civilian Beetles only began to be produced

in significant numbers by the end of the 1940s. The car

was then internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1

and marketed simply as the Volkswagen. The car became

widely known in its home country as the Käfer (German

for "beetle"), and later marketed under that name in

Germany and as the Volkswagen in other countries. In

France it was known as the Coccinelle (French for lady-

bug). The original 25 hp Beetle was designed for a top

speed around 100 km/h (62 mph). The Beetle marked a

significant trend, led by Volkswagen, then by Fiat and

Renault. In 1959 General Motors launched an aircooled,

rear-engine car, the Chevrolet Corvair, that also shared

the Beetle's flat engine and swing axle architecture.

Over time the front-wheel drive and often hatchback-

bodied cars came to dominate the European small-car

market. In 1974, Volkswagen's own front-wheel drive

Golf hatchback succeeded the Beetle. In 1994, Volks-

wagen unveiled the Concept One, a "retro"-themed con-

cept car resembling the original Beetle, and in 1998 in-

troduced the "New Beetle", built on the contemporary

Golf platform with styling recalling the original Type 1.

It remained in production through 2010 and was suc-

ceeded in 2011 by the Beetle (A5), the last variant of

the Beetle that was more reminiscent of the original

Beetle. Production ceased altogether by 2019.

Notes:

Beetle convertible/Cabriolet ended production (as 1979 mod-

els) on January 31, 1980.

Production in Brazil ended in 1986, then started again in 1993

and continued until 1996.

The Beetle outlasted most other cars which had adopted the

rear-engine, air-cooled layout such as those by

Subaru, Fiat and General Motors.

Lawence (Larry) Albert Swanson, of Sun City Westy,

Arizona, passed away on Monday, February 24th, 2020 ,

in Glendale, Arizona

Carl Thomason: “Most of you know that Larry was

one of the early members of SDC and worked closely

with SDC’s founder, Harry Barnes. He was the Editor of

Turning Wheels from 1972 to 1992 and created two

comprehensive publications – Inside Facts and The Glove

Box Guide. He represented the Upper Mississippi Valley

Zone as Director for many years and was so proud that

he had attended every International Meet until 2017.

Larry established or was involved and left his imprint in

so many areas of our club.”

Duane Miller: “ Larry & I go back many years. I

have no idea when we first met, but he made a lasting

impression on me. When I became Zone Coordinator back

in 2000 he reached out to me reminding me that I lived

in and now represented (in his opinion) the best Zone in

all of SDC. He offered to help me in any way he could.

And he meant it! When Leigh Morris decided not to run

in 2002, Larry asked me if I was going to run for the

position, I told him that I didn't feel comfortable in

that position yet as I thought I needed more experience

where I was. He said he was interested in running, but if

I wanted it, he would yield to me. He ran and was elected

and served until the "term limits" came in and I won the

election in 2014. Larry was always there with help and

advice. He and Pat were at all of the SDC meets until

just a few years ago. Lynda and I had a really good chat

with him in Tacoma during the SDC meet there & I

learned a few more interesting details about the early

years of the SDC and some of the things that Larry was

involved with. He was SDC membership director from

1972-1976, handled the SDC roster from 1972 - 1980,

Was TURNING WHEELS Editor from 1972 - 1992, ran

the SDC advertising from 1972 -1982, Was the

TURNING WHEELS "club writer" from 1992 - 2008, was

the TURNING WHEELS publication Director from 1992

- 2008, and Larry was our SDC copyright and legal advice

guy for many years. We owe almost as much honor

bestowed on him as Harry Barnes; for they are the

people that made this club what it is today.

Don Jones: “In my humble opinion, Larry touched

every facet of the SDC and was an instrumental part of

the club for a very long time. May he rest in peace and

the Lord be with his family.”

Photo of Larry at one of the earlier newsletter editor sessions at

an SDC meet.

Graham Gagné: “I had the opportunity to

correspond with and meet Larry a few times over the

years. He was always friendly, open and helpful. The

kind of person that is a pleasure to work with and to

know. I am sure he will be greatly missed.”

Restoration & Repair

Graham’s Jet Thrust project

While waiting for the

rebuild on the torque

converter which I need to

install the engine, I kept on

with other things needed to

complete the job. Here I

have my rebuilt steering

bellcrank. Tricky bit was soaking the 40+ year old cork

gasket enough to fit in its slot between the shims and

the housing.

Next I cleaned up the PS ram bracket and

installed it on the frame. Even though the car didn’t

come with PS the frame was pre-drilled for the bracket.

I then dragged out the cleaned and painted ‘bat

wing’ crossmember and installed it on the frame. It was

on the original frame even though it was not used to

support the engine/trans. For the 283 Mackinnon

engines Studebaker used an extra tubular cross member

behind the bat wing to support the auto trans tail shaft.

I used another 289 block

and auto bell housing to

position the front engine

mounts. I attached the

front mount frame

brackets to the engine

with new mounts then

positioned the engine

where it naturally set and

marked the front cross member. I then drilled and

mounted the brackets.

The trans from the ‘66 seems to be OK so I just

replaced the gaskets and seals. Same trick with the

cork gaskets.

The next job was to re-build the PS control valve

and then check the clearance between the reach rod and

the left engine mount bracket. I needed to notch the

bracket slightly for full clearance.

With the engine out it

is a good time to re-install

the wiper motor. I added

white grease to the gears,

cleaned the unit and put it

back on the car.

Surprisingly I came

across this 2X2 carb setup. I

thought I would be interesting

to use, but it doesn’t seem to

want to fit under the hood. So I

will go with the original intake

and 4 bbl AFB carb. This intake

is available for $200.

Studebaker Car Care and Tech Tips

Helpful Hints for Winter

Keep your headlights clear with car wax! Just

wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains

special water repellents that will prevent that messy

mixture from accumulating on your lights - lasts 6

weeks.

Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol!

Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing

alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly

streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect

silence & clarity.

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar! Frost on

its way? Just fill a spray bottle with three parts

vinegar to one-part water & spritz it on all your

windows at night. In the morning, they'll be clear of

icy mess. Vinegar

contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of

water preventing water from freezing!

Prevent car doors from freezing shut with

cooking spray! Spritz cooking oil on the rubber seals

around car doors & rub it in with a paper towel. The

cooking spray prevents water from melting into the

rubber.

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream.

Spray some shaving cream on the inside of the

windshield Wipe if off with paper towels. Shaving

cream has many of the ingredients found in

commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer!

Just put some hand sanitizer gel on the key & the lock

& the problems solved! (I wonder if this will gum up

the inside of the lock if used much- Judy H Antics

editor)

Thanks to Judy Houlihan and Antics for these

timely tips.

BOILING HOT?

HOT? Over heating is a common issue in both

modified and stock Studebakers.

Most people try to cure overheating by replacing

or rebuilding the radiator. Either with a larger or

thicker radiator. The other option is an aluminum

replacement. Water pump improvement is also an

option. Water additives are available to improve heat

to water transfer.

Sometimes the problem is not water flow but air

flow. Getting more air in can be improved with a

higher draw fan or adding a fan shroud. Attention also

has to be given to exiting air, getting hot air out from

the engine bay. Air dams can be added to the lower

edge of the firewall of the engine bay. They create

low pressure areas to draw hot air out of engine bay.

Louvers in the hood also let heat out and can

add a visual performance look. The other area to

consider is the exhaust manifolds. Header wrap,

properly installed, or ceramic coating the manifolds

can keep exhaust heat in the exhaust system.

Heat shields can divert air away from engine and

components, starters benefit the most from shielding

exhaust heat. Heat shields are also a benefit to

control carburetor vapor lock and spark plug wire

damage.

Engine oil coolers are a benefit in racing

applications but not so much on street cars. They can

keep engine oil too cool and can cause internal engine

damage. Spark timing is my first place to check, too

much spark advance really affects engine

temperature.

So, if you have an overheating problem with your

Studebaker these are a few areas to consider. Been

There, Boiled It !

Thanks to Lynn Fletcher in Tempo.

Odds ‘N’ Ends

From Pete Yuen

At one time or another, most motorists may have heard

some type of unusual noise coming from the car. If it is

from squeaks, they are often an indication of a friction

problem. Check it out.

The following noises are more common than others.

“CHATTERING”

Chattering or clicking when you are trying to start the

motor and hear a chattering /clicking sound, you may

have a problem with the starter not having enough volt-

age delivered to it. Check your battery and cable connec-

tions first, however, to make sure you have a full charge

in the battery and good contacts on both positive and

negative battery and cable connections. If this checks

out, then you will have reason to check the starter.” If

the battery is low on charge when attempting to start

the engine and it does not start, do not keep trying to

start it as prolong usage of the starter without suffi-

cient voltage will damage it.

“GRINDING”

When you apply the brakes and hear a grinding noise

that sounds like metal being scraped together, it may

mean that you have worn brake shoes on drum brakes or

worn disc brake pads on disc brakes rotors. It is gener-

ally caused by normal wear over a long period of time and

it is the one problem that should not be ignored. Brake

troubles always gets worse. If you suspect that the

scraping noise is coming from the braking system, get it

checked as quickly as possible. The cause of the scraping

noise is bad and the damage that the scraping causes

accelerates from bad to worse very quickly. Since the

braking system is considered to be one of the most im-

portant functions in your car as far as safety and your

welfare is concerned, give it the attention that it needs.

As a driver, your life depends on it.

“‘BANGS’ ON BUMPS”

If your car ‘bangs’ going over a bump, it means that the

suspension is “hitting bottom” or “bottoming out.” This

may be a result of worn shocks or broken or worn

springs. The solution is to replace the shock absorbers

or to have a mechanic check out the springs.” Another

possibility is that someone installed springs that were

not designed for usage in the car before you became the

owner.

“VIBRATION AND NOISE”

If a car vibrates at moderate speeds, you should check

to see if your wheels are in balance. This is the most

common cause. If the front wheels are out of balance,

you will feel most of the vibration on the steering. When

the rear wheels are out of balance, you will generally

feel the vibration through the seat. Vibration noise can

also be caused by failing bearings on the drive shaft and

universals. If the driveshaft is bent, it will create vibra-

tion also as the vehicle is driven.

“THUMPS”

If you hear a steady thump when you are driving, check

the tires. You may have a foreign object, like a stone

wedged in the tread. You may also have an air bubble on

the tire surface which is critically dangerous. If it is an

object, remove it carefully so you don’t damage the tire.

If it‘s a bubble, change the tire immediately and don’t

ever use that tire again. Bubbles means that the tire is

weakened and that it could explode when you are on the

road. Tread separation on tires was to some extent,

more common when the radial tires were first intro-

duced. The separation would be between the tread and

the tire carcass and it would cause the tire to ‘thump’ as

the car was driven.

“SQUEAL”

The squeal is often caused by a failing bearing such as on

the generator, alternator or the water pump. Rust on a

brake drum could cause a squeal when the brakes are

applied to slow the car. Some brake pad linings could cre-

ate a squeal when the brakes are applied. There is a

paste like substance that comes in a tube from the auto

parts jobbers that claim to stop the squeal from the

brake pads. Do not know how effective this is.

“SQUEAKS”

Squeaks such as heard from door, hood and trunk hinges

means that they need oiling to reduce the friction and to

prolong the life of the hinge.

Clunks Rattles and Squeaks

Wooden hubs - will last forever. If you just grease them once in a while. Not many folks realize that

Studebaker was a huge, successful and profitable company for 50 years before they even thought of making a

horseless carriage! They were, in fact, the largest manufacturer of horse drawn carriages/wagons, harness, etc.

IN THE WORLD! With a vast dealer network, which should have been a gold plated opportunity to transition into

truck and farm-type internal combustion devices, sadly, a lost opportunity as the management at Studebaker

turned instead to an “upscale” market, passenger automobiles. Photos for both front and back covers supplied by

Lynn Fletcher Thanks to Tempo for this old Studebaker item.

More on the 1909 Studebaker Garford on the following page


17


1909 STUDEBAKER - GARFORD This 1909 Studebaker advertisement features a

Studebaker-Garford "40" which referred to the four

cylinder 40 horsepower engine that The Garford Com-

pany designed and built for the Studebaker chassis. In

the advertisement Studebaker claimed that the "Real

quality in an automobile includes power, responsiveness,

flexibility, speed, safety, comfort, luxury, beauty, all

these in uniform balanced perfection".

By the early 1900s, Elyria, Ohio, businessman Ar-

thur Garford had amassed a sizable fortune from the

Garford Manufacturing Company, producing PADDED BI-

CYCLE SEATS!, which Mr. Garford had invented and pat-

ented.

Mr. Garford eventually sold this company to

George Worthington, who renamed the firm the

Worthington Manufacturing Company.

In conjunction with Pope, a bicycle and automobile

manufacturer, Mr. Garford, utilizing funds from the

sale of the Garford Manufacturing Company, formed the

Federal Manufacturing Company.

In 1904, Mr. Garford purchased Pope's share in

the firm, and this same year, Garford renamed the com-

pany the Garford Company. The Garford Company pri-

marily manufactured Studebaker-Garford automobiles.

It is generally recognized that the first

“Studebaker” internal combustion automobile was the

1904 Model “C” Studebaker-Garford.

The Studebaker-Garford company began produc-

tion in 1904 and ceased production in 1911, having

manufactured only 2,481 Studebaker-Garford cars. (by

1910 Ford was cranking out 1,000 Model T’s per

DAY).

In 1911, Garford and Studebaker parted company,

in 1913 Garford was bought by Willys - Overland,

thereafter, the Garford factory was used to manufac-

ture Willys autos.

1909 Model C, 5 passenger Touring you will notice,

has no front doors! It is also right hand drive, the

Americans did not switch to the left until 1913, although

Ford began building left side steering in 1908 with the

introduction of the Model T.

There are a pair of snazzy brass headlamps, pow-

ered by acetylene, no fear of having electrical failure

on a dark night!

On the running board, we see a tool box, behind

that, a carrier for the spare cans of gasoline and oil.

(equal size!)

Not visible in the artwork, this auto was equipped

with 3, count‘em, 3 rear springs! There is also a rubber-

bulb “a-oogah” horn on the right hand side. This auto

featured non-demountable tires, you had to fix a

flat with the wheel and rim on the car, most early motor-

ists carried only spare tires, (no rims) tubes, and a

husky chauffeur.

Crank start only. Rear brakes only, mechanical in

nature. Has a folding top, but, apparently, no windscreen!

A “muffler cutout” was standard equipment, for drown-

ing out conversations.

Price; $5,100. A steal of a deal. Or, you could buy 7 Ford

Model T Touring cars at $700 apiece, plus GST and PST!

Some guy’s have all the luck!

Replacement alternators for some newer cars will

have a tag attached to them from the manufacturer or

rebuilder as shown above. There is a reason for it.

The modern alternator is designed to be lighter in

weight than the old alternators as used in cars of the

60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Claims would be that the lighter the

weight, the better fuel mileage would be attained by the

car. This seems to make sense but there is a trade-off

and that being the light weight alternators are small,

light, likely less costly to manufacture and designed only

to maintain the battery for normal everyday use and it is

not designed to do what the older, larger and heavier

units can do and that is they are able to charge a “dead”

battery in a car after the car was jump started and they

do not fail in doing so.

The alternators in the modern car, being small,

does not have the mass to dissipate the heat while

charging the battery and they will fail due to the heat.

In other words, they will “burn out.” The term is used by

mechanics and it does not mean that the alternator will

be nothing but ashes but it means that the alternator

will no longer function to create electricity.

Every winter, the shops that service and repair

cars where the winter has cold or freezing tempera-

tures, get to replace a number of alternators mostly due

the cars having a weak battery that the alternator was

trying to charge. To reduce the chance of an alternator

failure in a modern car where winters are cold, a weak

battery should be charged by a battery charger, not an

alternator. A weak battery should be replaced. In doing

so, it may save the alternator. The auto-electric shop

claims that a weak battery can raise havoc with the al-

ternator. That said, it seems to be a case of pay now or

pay a lot more later.

Aren’t you glad that you own a Studebaker or an

Avanti with a larger alternator? Still, if the battery is

weak, replace it. A weak and ready to die battery can

leave you stranded on the road if it does not have suffi-

cient power for the starter to crank the engine.

In the days when 6 volt batteries were used, they

seem to let you know when they were going to expire but

the 12 volt batteries do not give any indication what-so-

ever. An engine can be started, shut off and two minutes

later, the battery can be void of power for the starter

to crank the engine.

1983 Avanti: Yes, a 1983 Avanti manufactured by The Avanti

Corp in South Bend Indiana. This model was continued in 1965

through 1983 in the same 1964 configuration albeit with GM

drive train (engine and transmissions for emissions) by

Newman/Altman (1965-1982) and Stephen Blake (1983-1985).

Numerous luxury options were added over the years and this

1983 has most of them including sun roof, A/C, and power

windows. This one has been modified by replacing the anemic

305cid/5.0L with a new ZZ-383cid crate engine now producing

396hp/480ftlb torque. The 700R4 has been rebuilt and

strengthened, new universals, rear axle has new seals/bearings

and 3.31 gears. Before engine was replaced the alternator, A/C

compressor and PS pump were also rebuilt. New radiator and all

hoses including brake and fuel. New dual 2.25” SS exhaust with

new high flow cats installed. New paint job in three part base/

pearl/clear in Redline 3 red (Dodge Challenger colour). Needs

some interior and carpet TLC. Comes with a new RetroSound

AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth/MP3/USB/Ipod inputs and

power antenna (not installed yet). The steering has been

converted to a power rack and pinion (new 1987 Cavalier Z24

and hoses). I have not played with much in the past five years

and feel it is time for someone else to finish/enjoy. Very

serious parties only, no test pilots, I can take extra pictures

and post if requested. Contact Mike 519.802.7495
