That is interesting. I can't speak to what happened, or why, but I think in general if there are going to be troubles with any cylinders, #4 & #5 are top contenders.

Ah ok thanks…I did the brakes a few months ago and never saw that drop out …replaced a
Everything…was worried it was tranny part!

Look at the picture. There is almost no ridge between number 4 cylinder space and the surrounding head surface.

That looks like a link that goes between the brake cylinder piston and the shoe web.

Its a wheel cyl. pin. They used 2 per wheel cylinder. I doubt it is from your car, if your brakes are working well. Probably a spare part.

Wondering if anyone can I’d this part I found under my 41 110? I’m assuming it belongs to the car but have no idea what it is or where it came from..I’ll attach photo thanks

Just finished up my hubcaps. Not perfect, but very presentable.





Before

I can’t speak for Waltham clocks but for Borg, I had one in a 1965 Cadillac Calais Coupe converted by Borg themselves. I looked like new when they were done, keeping accurate time. The only visible difference was that the second hand swept around smoothly rather than clicking the seconds.

Poor oil control (worn rings?) perhaps combined with an excessively rich fuel mixture.

That Packard does not have a Borg clock, or equivalent. It should have a high quality Waltham 8-day pure mechanical clock. These are generally very reliable and long-lived, I'd recommend cleaning and whatever repair is needed by a good clock shop. On my '34 I needed a new mainspring which was readily available, I had it repaired and put back in service a good 40+ years ago and it's still working just fine.
