Well.......at least he didn't cut holes in the dash for the extra gauges!! Take the console out, remove the tach mounted on the steering column, and fix the torsion level, and it would be a decent driver. I could live with the louvers in the hood, although I don't particularly like them.

As a follow-up from my post yesterday (post #2 in this thread).......

I pulled out the Shop Manual Supplement for the '58 Packard. If your car has the original distributor, it will be a Delco 1110864. If that's the case, using the distributor number lookup on the Pertronix site, you would need either a Pertronix 1183 Ignitor, or a Pertronix 91183 Ignitor II. (In my opinion, the Ignitor II has a lot of features that make it worth the extra cost, but you would need to research it and decide.)

As Packard Don mentioned, the best thing would be to contact Pertronix via phone once you get your distributor number. Their cross reference from distributor number to Ignitor part number should be correct.

Your '58 should have a Delco distributor. There should be a Delco tag on the distributor body with the model number on it, it will be a 7 digit number. I've attached a picture of a similar Delco distributor showing the tag. The 7 digit number will start at the left side of the tag.

Once we have that number, we will know for sure what distributor you have.

I will say that Pertronix's website is well known for having the Studebaker (and thus the '57/'58 Packard) applications screwed up.

On this part of the Pertronix online catalog here: Pertronix 11584, the catalog says its for a '58 Studebaker 8 cylinder but also says its for a Prestolite. That could not be, because the Prestolite was not used on the V8 until 1962.

Once we have your distributor number, maybe we can figure this out.

That must be due to Fred's influence on you.

Re: Delco Radio Knob

Ok, I dug into the Studebaker/Packard parts manuals. For all 1958 Studebaker and Packard, the manuals show p/n 1545238 for the two radio knobs. The parts manuals unfortunately do not give the color of the knobs.

Where I saw p/n 1545238 as being black was in the Studebaker International catalog (they even have a picture), but I'm starting to question whether this is correct. I believe they have the wrong p/n on the picture and description.

I did look at some pictures of several '58 Studebakers and they all had white knobs.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of these knobs in inventory.

Jared, are you looking for a white knob as shown in the picture, or a black knob? Part number 1545238 looks to be a black knob.
