again , i am so excited. i got the battery properly charged,new cables and very clean, thight connection(starter motor too). can u believe the car starts on half a crank. wow. this is so cool.
last night is read the forums and learned my packard has the ultramatic trans , so it has the 327 engine, not the 288. I guess this is good...... i am haviing a ball learning all these little things. i want to do diagnostic tests b 4 i drive too much. i have lnever done this , but have been reading about it. found some compression tools and vacuum tools at sears yesterday. be nice to get an idea of the condition of the engine. aloha, have a great Packard day!

the carpet is dark brown, the headliner and door panels are ivory, the seats are cloth ,striped brown. the car was restored in the 80's perhaps. and i noticed today a decal on the window , faded ; looks like it might be from a packard club. with a #. but it is very faded.
