When looking at the 2 photos you posted of the front side of differential, the seal looks flush on the early photo and recessed or reversed in later photo.

Curious about the seal number you're using. A seal lip is usually toward the oil. It looks to be pointing out.

This was too much for me in 2004.

I believe the car is all original. Motor should be fine, just clean it up before starting. Buy that issue of SIA december 1985 where your car was used for the drive report. Dick Quinn might have more details of the cars history. He was close friends of one of the prior owners.

At Hershey 2004. I have often thought about chasing this car down and buying it. You got a good car. Just not stored well.

I think this is your car. I should have bought it when at hershey. December 1985 in special interest autos magazine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/403978727309?hash=item5e0f022f8d:g:sKQAAOSwCQpjZujL&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsGKHt6Jp4vpfVk63MSqfN1I9neyDkZCTFQxvmKEk2K3DZ4x4zTaMS0tc8LqjbuvCpoOVXy8PzTiJAyDDrPCsg7iv4XE4cRKwUNwIghOiE4vvnyCqRBzZZFbdRSstCd27pl1Uewu%2FCavWQU4bsw1zuUKpEZai%2FX8ZkG1lGut7gQ9BvsqxTOWybdwQ4v%2BDFPMI5iJnp3JxusTKTCsKamY5tr%2B4kWXeoYVlz4EkxfcsN%2BIX|tkp%3ABk9SR5yq0ralYQ

By chance is this cars serial number 7140962? If so than I know some of its history. Looks like the same car. Has the speedometer show about 38000?

Year and model info would help.

Double pin type.

Here is what's in there. I supply the rubber cushions and horn buttons. studerex@aol.com

As Nathan said, I would drop the pan on all motors and clean it out. You won't be sorry.

John I found the wheel trim rings at Hershey you were looking for. I will post a photo later when I find the cable.

Mark, what are your space numbers?

Bill, it depends on your definition of good. I have been looking for a better one. I have a lead on several and will let you know at the end of October.

One important thing not mentioned is to tighten the nut with motor running. And be careful not to spin the bushing in the casting.

Try https://windshieldframes.com/index.php They have made several for me.

Very nice write up. I bought a snap-on steering puller from the 50s and have no problem pulling wheels. And a customer that bought the new rubber retainers told me of a easier method to replace them and I tried it. Just break out the old hard rubber, then put a slit in the new rubber at the pin holes. Push them on and put a drop of super glue on the slit.

I have new horn button retaining rubbers. https://studebakerreproductions.com/steering-wheels

So far only found this one. I do have more, just have to locate them.

This company has many types to choose from. https://www.ledlight.com/sockets.aspx

Also you can contact Dick Quinn for info on the history of your car.

You can remove the ignition switch with the armored cable from the coil and dash and get a key made or maybe find a new replacement assembly. I have seen them around. Also I have replacement rubber and plastic parts. https://studebakerreproductions.com/reproduction-parts
