I know this was answered before but I can't find it. What are the differences in the 1953-1956 Bendix-Treadlevac Master Brake Cylinder and how can one tell them apart? (Yes, I know that 1952 was the first year but it's easily identifiable.)

I ask because I have a core I want to rebuild for my 1956 which I understood is from a '55 or '56 and want to know if it's the proper one. Someone (Howard, as I recall) said something about a stamping on the casing but I can find nothing there.


Don, this thread has some info on identification on page 5 (which the link should take you to), including a table out of the Bendix catalog: Treadlevac Thread
There probably is more info pertaining to ID'ing the units, but I didn't look thru the other 16 pages!

Thinking ahead; the interior, what is the best material to install above the headliner for sound deadening and insulation? What is the best adhesive to use that can handle the heat from a black roof in the summer. Any special prep? My thoughts now are just sanding and priming.


Marvin, on my Studebaker headliner, I used Eastwood's X-Mat Underhood and Headliner. Here is a link: X-Mat Underhood & Headliner

Prep beforehand was scraping off the old asphalt pad, and cleaning as much as possible with a 3M scotchbrite pad. Then I painted the top with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator paint. Then the X-mat is stuck on (it's self adhesive) and rolled with a wooden wallpaper roller. It's been on the car for 3 years with the car sitting outside in the sun, no issues -- it's still stuck tight. Attached are a couple of pictures.

As I posted on the AACA forum: Too bad the previous owner stripped the original paint. It might have been a good candidate to get it looking as good as possible cosmetically with what was there, and fix the mechanicals, and drive it.

Why another thread for online for sale Packards? Is the "Various Craigslist Pickings" sticky thread at the top of this 'For Sale/Wanted/Trade' Forum not accepting posts again?

Hopefully nothing too serious. Would this be something that prevents the engine from turning over all the way? It turns easily nearly all the way, say from 12 o'clock around to 11 o'clock.


Yes, it could if the valve is not all the way open. Don't try to force the engine to turn past the point it stops, or you could bend a pushrod if it's stuck valves stopping it.

Also, consider the possibility that you could have more than one valve stuck.

My guess on your huge valve clearance -- that valve is stuck in its guide.

I like louvers, on the right type of car. But in my opinion, a '55 Clipper is not the right type of car!
