Ok so I am pretty new to the world of studes and have a few questions.
Do I need to use leaded gas? The motor is a 63'. So far I have ran it without lead, but not for very long. I was in the process of getting it running at the time.
Will modern oils with detergents hurt the motor?
Where can I find a spin on style oil filter?
Can I convert the motor from spin on filter to canister? If so, how easy is it to get a canister filter?
How hard is it to convert the to an electronic ignition?
I have a nice GM alternator, will it work on this car?
I heard one can mount a ford top loader 4 speed to the Studebaker motor but needs an adapter.. is this true? Has anyone tried this?
Finally, do local Automotive stores carry parts like clutch plates and etc? (3 speed with over drive)
You've all been great help with my questions so far and I thank you very much. The Studebaker community has to be one of the most knowledgeable and friendly communities I have ever joined. Thanks!
