Studebaker Avanti !!!!! first disk brake car USA 63'
built on lark chassis, (many help on engine parts this fact)

wow super rare classic car, never seen here. 1200 made. only.!
google it?
belts come in vast sizes so best is not cut them, but take them in tact to a car parts store and they measure them up./
and with AC is one more belt size
so rare the online SM only list LARK
NEXT TIME ,NO CUTS, AND USE CAMERA
LEARN THAT GOOGLE FINDS NO PHOTOS OF 63 ENGINES EASY
OR AT ALL.
But I see some
the main pulley on engine Damper crank pully is multi grove kind
and front goes to fan/pump , looking from the top see what aligns to the below.
but AC is and After market kit put on there right? nah X84 AC options
$4400 buck new.
for sure , learn to align all belts looking top down to main bottom pulley groves back then I did that, on cars with lost belt or 2.
see each accessory to mid range, tension first. (arc)
then used rope 1/2" to make fake belt to get circumference
or t using old cut belt Now lost can't get width.?

I measure the pulley grove width, and buy up to 3 belts.
3 guessing circum. yes ive done this and is a pain, lost belts are
and service manuals lost or can buy them.
guess min, avg or max per listings of belts Circum.
then return the 2 wrong ones,
the do the next accessory and repeat till done.
or join a real Avanti forum , of real owners.
or find a real service manual googling like mad.
I found an onllin SM but has no accessory pages, sad face.

Hard to say. If the ignition key were left on by mistake for a time and drained the battery it would result in burnt breaker points. Check for spark. Remove a spark plug cable and use one of the old plugs inserted in the cable end. Ground the plug body to the engine block and have someone try a startup, observe spark plug gap for spark. No spark, problem found. Go to breaker points. May be a weak spark(yellow color) and need to replace points and condenser anyways.

Here are the wiring diagrams for a 1963 Ford Fairlane 500. This should be all you need. I hope this helps!

1960 1963 ALTERNATORS THATS WAS THE BIRTH YEAR OF THE AC ALTERNATORS THEY COULD GENERATE LARGE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT AT LOW RPM.THE OLD DC GENERATORS HAD TO DRIVE FAST KEEP BATTERY CHARGED.YOU COULDNT OPERATE A LOT OF ACCESSORIES AT ONE TIME DRAIN THE BATTERY QUICKER.THE 1963 ALTERNATORS THEY HAD EXTERNAL VOLTAGE REGULATORS.THEY HAD TO BE ADJUSTED.

This sounds like your heater core needs changed.

But if not, it seems a good place to start.

I empathize with your plight; I have a Bertone '87 X1/9, my favorite car of all time but have been fortunate in finding a low-mileage parts car in case I need any.
I grew up in original Avanti-land; South Bend, IN.
