As a fellow young guy (21 here) that likes Land Crusiers.. Welcome!! And cool car.

Wow! Nice score! First off, welcome to the forum! It's great to have another younger guy aboard to up our numbers (The younger guys here are slightly low....) Have you joined the Studebaker Drivers Club yet? If not, I highly recommend it. Our monthy magazine is loaded with awesome articles, technical help, classifieds, etc. I also recommend joining a local S.D.C chapter. You can get together with other Studebaker folks, attend fun events, and have a wealth of info when you are stuck on something.

Brain, You came to the right place. This is the site that will inform you about anything you want to know. It was great to meet you in Reno.

Brian:

Welcome to the Club! I got my first Studebaker at age 15 and had to wait to drive it.

Enjoy the experience of working on it and making it yours. You will really stand out in the crowd and everyone will know you.

Don't hesitate to ask the group for help. We are all in this together!

Not bad! Looks better than my first Studebaker.

I forgot to mention, Brain's family are Studebaker owners. His dad works for Summit racing equipment. He told me that the carb kit that they sell will work for Carter afb.
Here is the site. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ED...cation/?page=2

Note: Edelbrock copied afb carter carbs. I am buying 2 of them today.
