Power Window Kit
Product Description
Custom made power window kit for all 1963 to 1991 Avanti.
This kit will replace factory power windows or manual windows.
Easy installation, only three holes to drill.
Standard kit includes motor plugs, terminals and instructions. If the existing motor has two wires, your original switches and harness will work.
If the existing motor has 4 wires, relays are needed to use the original switches, or use new switches and harness.
Optional at extra cost switches are GM style or Ford style, which closely resemble the original Studebaker switches.
For '63 to '73 Avanti with factory power windows and 4-wire motor, we can include two relays that will allow the use of original switches.
For console located switches, your original switches and harness are sufficient.

New ACI Motor AMP Draws
No Load amps Low Load amps High Load amps Stall amps 3 5 11 20 ACI Motors are Reverse PolarityThis means that the ground for the system must come out of the master switch. There are 2 poles on the motor - to make it operate,you must put power to one side then ground to the other side - NOT to the motor case. This will result in the motor turning in one direction.By swapping the wires from side to side, the direction will change.Fuses or Circuit Breakers - 30 AMPMost of our harnesses will come with an in-line 30 AMP fuse. If you prefer, a circuit breaker will work too.You can hook your windows up to a varity of different power sources.Some options are:Straight to the battery (Windows should not have any battery draw when not in use).Find extra slot in fuse panel - tie in using the supplied fuse.Pull power from the key-on side of the switchRelaysIn most cases, you will not need to use a relay to boost amperage to the motors. The switches and wiring we use can handle the amp draws.If you are using old style 3 pole switches, a special relay is needed to reverse the polarity at the motor. These do not increase amperage,
they just swap the ground from side to side. we have these available (prewired). Call us at 336-699-8949 for assistance.
Grease & Oil1. On the regulator gear teeth and roller tracks, we recommend using a high temp automotive wheel bearing and chassis lubricant.
NLGI grade 2 is one option2. Avoid the older soap based lithium grease - it sets up hard in cold weather making the windows harder to move3. A few drops of light weight oil in the pivot points will allow the Bronze Oilite ® bushings to work smoothly and reduce wear.4. On fuzzy runs and weather stripping - some 3M Silcone spray can help with break in5. Use Die-Electric grease or Tuner Lube on all terminals and connections. This protects against moisture and corrosion.
We manufacture make and model specific power window kits that bolt into the original mounting holes. Using 1018 cold-roll steel, bronze oilite thrust bearing at all the pivot points and treated metal for all gears results in a quality regulator. The motors are new ACI motors and have been tested to be a quality, very strong and dependable motor. You use your original glass channels. Multiple switch options are offered. Our Power Window kits offer a lifetime warranty ( Warranty requires a copy of sales receipt or invoice. Customer to return part with a copy of receipt).
