What water pump do you have in it. There different impeller depths out there. If you have the wrong one, or even over torque a standard pump, the...
Since we are talking about a Stude, I'm surprised nobody has suggested Avanti style traction bars. They do require welding a bracket to your axle...
A couple years ago while at the South Bend swap, I asked Ted Harbit what kind of oil system mods he recommended for stude V8s. He said basically,...
<edit> A while back, I made a run stand from the front section of a Studebaker Lark frame. I figured that way I could hook it all up with stock...
This one is similar to the car originaly posted. This could have been made by a coach builder back in the day.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As promised. I realize now that this one is a different car. I think this is the one made from a PT Cruiser. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I saw that car in South Bend a few years ago at the meet. I believe the back half is from a PT Cruiser. I have pictures of it at home, I will post...
I have re-plumbed two cars using Ni-Copp tube. I have found that the 3/16" tube bends real easy by hand or with a cheap bender. I have even bent...
bored at work this morning, so surfing craigslist for Studes, turns up this gem. It falls into the "not my cuppa" category for me, but it is...
More pictures of the same car [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This one is insanely COOL! Again, not mine.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's what I was thinking. The fenders alone could fetch $8-1200 each.

Interesting, I was studying the pic of that trans. It appears to have a clutch pivot ball-stud on the bearing retainer. That would rule out...
That is a Borg-Warner T-96 three speed. W.G.DIV, stands for Warner Gear Division.They were used in Studebaker Champions (among others). That...
I will put in a good word for Clutch Dynamics in Lansing Michigan. I had them do a clutch, pressure plate and fly wheel for me. They did a great...
If you trust the seller and/or re-builder and the trans is what they say it is, then 1300 is probably not a bad price. Normally I would suggest...
$1300 sounds like a lot for an S-10 five speed (non-world class), even if it does have the mechanical speedometer tailshaft housing. The exception...
oh yeah..., and a good free flowing dual exhaust
The first thing I would do for optimum performance is to have the carb rebuilt by a professional who know them. The second would be a good tune-up...
It seems I post this link from Hemmings every few months or so. It is one of the best references for master cylinders I have found....
@Rusty O'Toole & @57 Fargo, At the risk of getting this thread shut down and suffering a warning for OT post, I feel the need to clear the air on...
Cool, another Stude back on the road. I saw that car for sale on CL. Funny thing about the 1955 Stude President sedan, there were only 1100 or so...
Had to send him a email to get some more info on that car. Hey @Norrland let us know what you find out about this ride. Like I said, not my cup...
Surfing CL turns up this custom Stude in New Jersey. It seems to be done along the same theme that the OP is planning for his coupe. It is not for...
I did not know that. That is good information and it makes sense, Those wires are rather limp when you remove them. Unfortunately it is too late...
Here is a picture of the insides of your Delco distributor. You can see how it is set up and the wires you need to replace. [ATTACH]
@lelshaddai, I just went through this with a 1955 Studebaker. It is likely the distributor wiring. If you look at your Delco distributor, there is...
I bought my '55 Stude coupe out of Iowa. It did not have a title, but the person who I purchased it from was a licensed car dealer who dealt in...
I work as a mechanical designer, in the auto business here in metro Detroit. I did not finish my degree, but I started out as a fabricator and...
