Since I re-jetted & meter rodded the carb the milage has gone from 5-7 mpg to about 18, That I can live with.

That's good news about the carb Kevin. BTW you would look good in an Avanti if you want it you should have it.

For 2R5 I will change the Avatar as soon as I find the right pic

All I see is Blk.vinyl,no Elk

I agree. The photocopy version is just bad. It seems to spell out "BLK VINYL" after the BKV abbreviation. It is noteworthy to see the correct term, "Model R" on this factory production order. Another memory discrepancy from one of the previously discussed articles stating that Project Avanti was Model X, which I had only thought was the 1959 Lark.

Wow that's great news Kevin. I really happy that you have that done. It was pretty easy wasn't it? How much black soot is coming from the tail pipe now?
