LSX_Packard, for including your '51 200 Touring Sedan in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry. and "Now has an LQ4 fuel injected 6.0L with a 4L80E automatic transmission, Ford 8.8 rear end with disc brakes, Willwood front disc conversion, Power brakes added and trunk mounted fuel cell (original tank gone when aqcuired)and Adding "Texas Speed Chopacabra" Cam, new springs and trunion upgrade, head port and polished. (next year I will be adding a 200 shot of nitrous) lets see how fast the old girl can go :)"

Although most on here are "purists I, for one, would be interested in "how fast the old girl can go"! Please keep us informed.

Amethyst front, rear and roof emblems used to be available too from Emblem Magic but unfortunately they folded taking some of my parts with them.

Regarding exchanging the wheel, all wheels were the same for '51-54 and perhaps a bit earlier. The center cap would differ some depending on the model, but that's not part of what you would be sending in. You would be sending in just the wheel itself with no chrome attached. These wheels are everywhere, so it should be very easy to find one.

Like Don said, any puller will work. Just rent one from an auto parts store....it has everything you need in it.

I recorded it the last time I pulled my wheel off, maybe this will help:

Any standard steering wheel puller will work and they are so inexpensive that I can’t imagine anyone wanting to take the time and effort to make one. Of course, for me, the same one will work on all my cars whether Packard or not so the need amortizes the cost.

I agree, any light oil will work. As it is sticking at a specific spot carefully examine the mechanism for all reasons that this may occur. Some sort of dirt/debris on the shaft, in the bushing(s). Any kind of misalignment of the axle to the housing. A bent/deflected pointer can cause binding at a specific point on its sweep too. By moving the needle pointer by hand to the 50 MPH mark and carefully feeling how it is binding will tell you a lot about the cause. These are very light parts and the return springs are equally fine so it does not take much to overcome them and have the needle stick. Oil will help, but it may not tell the whole story.
Happy snooping!

As for the problem you are experiencing I don’t have an answer, however if you want to share the video you can upload it to YouTube and then share the link to the YouTube video.

It’s the pull out kind…I got it working ..loose contact at ground under dash! Tested everything and in working order back to 6v specs…I got voltage and good ground to clock but it’s not working…I’m sure that broke a long time ago…thanks for all the help everyone!,,

My 1934 Packard vin no 715-1006 has a Stromberg E22 carburetor. It runs fine but if I remove air cleaner and look down the carb when running, fuel is dribbling down into manifold. I rather expected to see vapour. I’ve taken a short video with iPhone but unfortunately it won’t upload. Says file is too big. (It’s 6.4 mb) any suggestions? And if it does sound wrong how can I fix it? Thank you.
