I have applied some of the recommendations provided by this and the Racing Studebakers forum to my 62 GT Hawk.
Turner brakes and seat belts were the first installs. Last week saw a 500 cfm Edelbrock carb, alternator conversion and a new battery. Thanks for the suggestions - its a completely different, and better, car now.
This weekend will be a Phil Harris electronic distributor, new spark plug wires and hotter coil.
My question: any recommendations on the best plug, gap and timing for the upgraded ignition?
I need a decent baseline before I start to dial-in the carburetor.
the vehicle is a 289 GT Hawk, 4 speed, 4 barrel, TT (dont know the ratio), 80 K. Motor in good shape.
Thanks for your insight.
