The clutch return spring was not really a correct spring, so I replaced that with one that I got from Gerry. Thanks! I also swapped in some new A308 sparkplugs for old rusty (but working) ACR45 plugs.

Yes, you are correct, the 120 uses pot metal castings. Not so for the 115.
I agree Kev, a little more stainless would have been a great choice, same goes for the grill, hood centre trim, headlight doors. I wonder why? Was it too much like the entry level cars? Nickel shines great when new, not so much now.

Thank you Howard; There seems to be many opinions on which terminal to use. Maybe it makes a difference on the type of vehicle or tractor or what ever they are working with. But I only needed to get the information for a Packard. What would I do with out you sir.

Thanks Much

I will! Thank you!

I sure appreciate this info - many thanks!

I assumed the ones on my '37 120 were pot metal. I'll take another look at them.

Those things have left me on the side of the road more than once. You want one from a 56 Pontiac. They have no resistor.

At the very least put a couple of dabs of epoxy on the resistor to keep the wretched thing from falling out.

We got the regular Olds pump. I have run it a few times but haven't driven it as yet. I did notice it has a left front wheel cyl that is leaking. I should probably fix that before any driving.

It would have been grand if these pieces were originally stamped stainless!

Tigress1517, I would not use a new resistor rotor. Replace it with the non-resistor type. These resistor rotors are problematic. Why invest in a future problem?
