I"m doing a rechrome on the front bumpers
56 The 400 after removing the bumpers and the support brackets (for cleaning and painting) I found that 1 of the two main bolts that hold the bracket to the frame has has a built in concentric under the head this goes into the long slot on the bracket then passes through the Frame to be bolted the front bolt provides a pivot point. So don't throw those bolts away, I almost did as I'm replacing screws and bolts with SS. where I can. June 4, 2021

what is the thought on buying the polished SS spokes verses the chromed version
I think here in Ca we have 3 companies that "can" make the 52 spoke with wheel.. $1400 - 2400. True spoke said they do not have the center cap... which I don't understand if they say they make the wheels here in the US... Best

HI All
Hope all is well. Does anyone have a lead for the rear Antenna rubber grommet starting to get back to work on my 56 I'll be having the antenna anodized in about 2 weeks... Best PS. Rebuild kit for the Rochester 4GC I looked but did not see any number stamping.. Can anyone tell me if the rear antenna on the 56 400 were gold plated? I always thought they were?

I use the word plastic generically as you can see Polypropylene is OK that is the site I got my info from I did do some fast net search and found a mixed bag of answers. I will not say your wrong and I'm right but will I take a chance... I'll go with the plastic Although the float in my Packard was only 20 years old, and it did sit for many years, still I have never seen a float totally destroyed like mine was Best

I'll get this right sometime.
I bought a plastic float on Ebay for the sending unit, as Alcohol in the gas destroyed the brass float Ebay site https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Chrysler-Ford-Mercury-Lincoln-Gas-Fuel-Tank-Sending-Unit-Plastic-Float/202396276936?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 The (Autocity part) has a 57 TBird sending unit F34SU $45.00 And they say " fits 56 Packard" I did not know that Alcohol and brass are no compatible now I do I cleaned and repaired the two sending units I have If you do buy a float $8, you need to bend the hoop on the resistance arm which is easy, and plastic is compatible with Alcohol Best PS: I can not upload a picture yet, too large.
