This is my first post... I was hoping that someone here would be able to help. The photo below was taken on April 19,1943 at the Douglas Aircraft plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. President Roosevelt visited and toured the factory, being driven down the line of aircraft in his convertible. My question- what year and model Packard is this?



Thanks so much!

Im posting this for my neighbor that is building a 1937 packard. Its a four door but its solid and a great project. Unfortunately some parts are missing and we are in need of a whole Dash assembly. Most of his is missing or has been hacked up. Does anyone have one out of a parts car for sale?



Thanks

It ran pretty good but was chocking down on take off and finally it quit on me. But would start back up and drive about a mile before it would stop again. I have put plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, points and condenser, checked timing, checked compression (it is 95 to 120). Pulled the carburator, cleaned, adjusted, even hooked a container of fuel above engine and let it gravity flow to carburator. Fuel output from fuel pump to container has a good flow. Now after all of this I have a bad engine surge at all speeds. This car is a 6 volt positive ground.

Does anyone have any ideas or had a similiar experience with the 320. At this point I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

To my knowledge it is a 352, and it has the carter carb, and autolite ignition.charging system. ( i heard they were that or delco ray?)



Anyways It wont turn over. it does nothing. i turn the key to the on position and the red light comes on above the key, but when i turn it to start it nothing happenes, no click no nothing.



I have rehooked the wires up to the ignition coil and distributer, What else should i look for and start with on my search for this problem.



The car is in neutral. (to my knowldege) ive been pushing it around. The old owner took the puchbutton tranmission control out and sold them. he cut a hole in the floor for a floor shifter. ( how hard is it to put in a floor sifter?) i think its a twin ultramatic. (it is automatic)



I may sound like a moron, but im just trying to put out what i know, hopefully it'll help a bit



A bit amusing

The car has sat in a garage for 30 years, then it belonged to the motion museum in south dakota( i have paperwork), for god knows how long, then it was brought to cleveland Ohio 3 years ago where it now sits.





Have anybody heard of brake fluid turning in a paste, and dust? my master cylinder has Think white dust at the top and the deeper in you go it goes to a paste.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/58347/1951-250-series-24-convertible-value Sat, 22 Sep 2007 23:51:25 +0000 40 Fathom Andy 58347@/forum/discussions

Well now I have another problem. Lets see if I get any responses to this question.

While coming home from a car show, I had to slow down because a motorcycle got in front of me. I immediatly noticed a ticking coming from the engine compartment of my 1940 120. I pulled over and the engine was missing and wobbling and clacking like crazy. A quick look and we slowly made it home.

the sound is coming from around #1 cylinder and the water pump area.

I did a compression check, Arced each plug, checked the wiring and distributer - everything is ok.

Someone on the Hudson site here suggested the snubber could be broken inside the timing chain cover. I used a stethascope and the noise is not coming from there.

I live in a condo that will not allow me heavy duty mechanical work, so it must go to a shop for repair. I've spent 2 weeks and hundreds of phone calls trying to find a mechanic that knows flathead 8s. I might have to have it towed to a museum in Oxnard CA to get it done.



My new question is - does the 1940 flat head 8 have HYDROLIC LIFTERS?

I have been told it does but the language in the owners manual only says - PRESSURE LUBRICATED MUSHROOM TYPE LIFTERS.

I havent been to High School Auto Shop in 46 years. Can anyone here tell me - is that a yes or a no?

I ordered the Service Tech Manual but Kanter sent me the Owners Manual. With the car being 67 years old I really don't have to worry to much about 10000 mile tune ups and how to clean spots off the seats anymore.

how do i know if it's a super eight or just normal?



how many gears does it have, all i've found are 2 forward and one reverse on the collum shifter, is that it? or am i skipping one in there somewhere?



i changed the thermostat but it still reads between the middle mark and the H mark on the guage is that ok? i'm assuming that it's an old guage and not very accurate anymore. what would be the first signs of trouble if it is overheating?



the brakes throb some i havn't even taken the wheel off yet, but i would assume a warped rotor? if it even has rotors? or is it all drums??



great car so far, i'm sure i'll have more questions as time goes on, just starting to learn about it

Once the car warms up, I have water flowing slowly out of the overflow tube. The heat gauge reads OK but water continues to flow out. The cap now on it doesn't have the spring and seal on the bottom of it, so i don't think its reaching the seat.

Anyone have a Napa Auto store part number?

The small running light on the top of the fender. Try as I might I cant get to the bulb to replace it. I've searched for a screw, tried turning the lens, just about everything except removing the whole fixture from the fender.

Surley one of you Packard Masters out there can guide me thru this. What am I doing wrong?
