Hi Guys
I need some help with a carb replacement for my 1963 GT Hawk, 298 , automatic, A/C, PS car. (Not a supercharged car). I recently bought this Studebaker which was in a garage for nearly 30 years. The neighbors didn't know it existed as they had never seen it. Good buy for me as I was there when the family decided to sell..
It has 40,000 miles on it. The previous owner was a member of the family who bought it new. Once purchased and brought home, it started with a jump. Brakes are soft but I have receipts that they were rebuilt in 1990 AND the car has the same miles as the receipt!!! Hard to believe that the car was repainted, reupholstered and put in the garage and covered. I bought it. Motor # JT 1792. Door stamp 63V 29474.
The carb is leaking gas. I need some counsel on the replacement. The research I have done says Edelbrock 1403 500 cfm. as the replacement.
Do you agree or do you have a different recommendation??
Many thanks.
