Excellent, I ran the motor up via 12 volts and it evened out the suspention bringing the rear up 4 to 6 inches.

Thank you for the help. Both short bars are bent long bars didnt appear to be. I will update as I go this weekend. I intend to work through starting at the compensator and work to the interior.
I will also be checking compression and prelubing the cylinders. i won't put voltage to the car until I look into the suspension system. Do the Packard's have one key or two for ignition and doors/trunk.

Oh and Misspoke it is an exec touring sedan. The 4 door model. It is a pretty complete car but is missing all trim from the hood ie hood ornament and lettering.

Fantastic write up. I crawled under this morning and there is a large gauge black cable removed and taped off probably a ground or main power to the motor. I will attempt to upload a pic or 2.

I picked up a 56 packard exec touring coupe for a gift for my Pastor. We previously had a 55 firedome desoto that he was going to restore as a retirement project. That was unfortunately sold bt the son of a friend.
My goal is to get it running and driving before we give it to him. I am hoping you can point me to some good threads to get me started. Especially suspension how to the suspension is currently way down in back and high in the front. I want to jump power to it but also dont want to destroy anything as I learn the system. Brakes engine seem pretty straight forward The transmission is converted to a floor shifter and I'd like to convert it back if I can find the parts. Most have been removed. Anyway any tips to get me started would be great.
