Date: 14 October 2002 From: cw2scogg@msn.com (Gregory Scoggin) 2:33 AM Subject: 59-63 V8 Parts list interchange updated More parts and some corrections to my 'aftermarket' parts interchange list Stude 59-63 (not Mckinnon 283)V-8 Repair parts list (These parts are parts that usually wear out on a vehicle and are available at commonplace parts stores found in most towns and cities across the USA. The list is ongoing and is intended for Stude folks who break down and need a part immediately in order to stay on the road. They were compiled with Larks in mind, but some will fit Hawks, Avantis and other studes depending on what part you need (common sense rules) Part type Part # Store where found Alternator Prostart 7058 Pep Boys Air cleaner (2bbl) Purolator A 40048 Fram CA168PL Walmart, shucks, Kragen etc Air cleaner (4 bbl) Scepter after market for edelbrock only Walmart, shucks, Kragen etc Ballast resistor Standard RU-11 Carquest Drum brake hold down springs Raybestos H1162 Brake hold down backing plate 'nails' Raybestos h314 Brake hoses (non disc) Wagner F24970 Carquest Brake hoses(disc) Wagner F41244 Carquest Brake shoes (disc) Raybestos PGD114 or Raybestos 702 Napa Brake Shoes (V8 front 11") Bendix TS-177 Napa Brake Shoes (V8-rear 10" 6cyl front 10") Bendix TS-176 Napa Brake shoes (rear 10") Raybestos PAB 53 Napa,Carquest Carb rebuild kit (2bbl) Napa/Echelin 2-5804 Napa Carb rebuild kit (4bbl) Coil napa IC-17 or Wells C819 Napa/Autozone Condensor( Delco single) AL 868 Napa Dist cap (prestolite) AL 124 Napa Dist cap (GM window type 60-61 &pertronix) DR 976 Wells Autozone Dist cap (delco) RR 165 Napa Exhaust flange gasket Felpro 60620, NEA EX31 Napa or Pep boys fuel pump (electric) Master E80125 Autozone fuel pump (engine driven) Napa M2211 Napa Gasket (engine) set Felpro GSK 043 Any Master cyl rebuild kit Napa 137 Napa Oil filter v-8 models w full flow Fram PB50, PH 11 or Purolator L30005 Any Pertronix ign kit(must use window type dist) #1181 Ted Harbit does the whole kit Pinion seal for Dana 44 rear axel National 5778 or Napa 15788 Napa Points (Delco single point) Napa C5777A or Standard DR2236XP Napa or Pep boys Points (prestolite dist) Wells AL 1044MV Autozone Rotor(Prestolite distributor single point) Napa AL 125 Napa Rotor(delco single point) Standard DR306 Napa Rotor (GM window type 60-61 &pertronix) Wells 969 Autozone Shocks (rear lark air shocks stem type) Monroe maxair 3692296(69229A)P3C78 Pep Boys Shocks (I beam truck front air) Gabriel 39215 Pep Boys (this has been reported to be in error - Dec 2010) Spark Plugs(V8) Bosh supe platinum 4236,Autolite 437, Any and all Spark Plugs(V8) Platinum 7516(wr9fc), Champion RH14Y Spark Plugs(V8) Champion 857/ RH18Y(hotter) Starter solenoid Napa ST 81 or Standard SS 588 Napa, Carquest Temp send unit Napa TS6178 Napa U-joint (2 dr larks) See section on u joints below U-joint (4dr lark) See section on u joints below Voltage Regulator Wells VR 706 Wells Autozone Wheel Bearings inner/outer (front 11" drum) Carquest A2/A6 or Napa PBR6/PBR2 Napa or Carquest Wheel cyl kit (front 1'-1/8-1-1/16 diam) Bendix 66821 All Wheel cyl kit (front 1'-1/8-1-1/16 diam) Autozone 66821 or Wagner F3609 All Wheel cyl kit (front 1'-1/8-1-1/16 diam) Raybestos WK20 or WK322 All Wheel cyl kit (rear with 7/8" diam) Napa 249 Napa Wheel cylinder (rear) (disk brake cars) Wagner 4151 (hard to find) Carquest Ujoints-The 4door larks use different ujoint setups than the 2 door larks. For the front on a 4 door Lark use a Napa 505 and on the back use a Napa 507 or Neapco 1-3600 (autozone)For the front on a 2 door Lark use Carquest PV 1-0153 and rear: Spicer 5-153X. PV1-4835 or Rockhill BL 1310 Distributor configurations-Stude used a lot of different distributor systems from 59-64..I think 4 to be exact. All v-8s can use any of the distributors, but their parts will be differernt, of course.I have differentiated this above for getting the right parts for the distributor your vehicle uses. In order to use the Pertronix Kit (new electronic ignition setup), you have to use the Delco Window type (GM style) distributor out of 59-61 V8 vehicle with rotor and distributor cap as listed above from Autozone and Pertronix kit #1181 available from Ted Harbit at Studebaker Parts service (765) 948-5051 18994 N. 125E Summitville, IN 46078. A GM window type distributor cap from the early 60's v8's has a metal window on it's side that you can slide up to adjust the point and dwell (when installed with points). The cap used for this is different than the one used in the later model V8 delco distributors so take note of this or you will end up with the wrong cap. If your vehicle uses the dual point prestolite distributor found in R series vehicles then unfortunately, this parts cross ref will not help you with them as I have no cross for them.
