It has been a while, but I seem to remember a size of 100 x 100 Pixels, may have been up to 200
Think you also want a JPG file and remember that "big" is not just physical size, but the size of the file, smaller or tiny being faster to load on a website. I notice on the bottom of this page that several different file types are supported here at least.

Maybe I'm remembering something incorrectly, but thought I remembered reading that the 288 head on a 327 block gave more compression? Maybe I have that backwards or totally wrong, but perhaps check engine number on your 288/327 before considering it a 288.

Riki, I would probably be guilty myself, if I saw a Packard in a parking lot I expect I'd be drawn to that area for a closer look.

Thank you BigKev,
Of all the various Internet sites, forums and groups I tend to visit, this one is tops, I always feel I am surrounded by those gentlemen of old. Sure would be nice if certain other social media followed the same standard you set.

Re: 48-50 front bumper adjustment

It has been too many years since I was young and played with auto bodywork, but from memory I think the bolt holes on the bumper brackets were oversized to allow for some adjustment, that should work unless the bracket has become bent over the years. Probably take several folks to hold bumper in correct place while another tightens the bolts.

These were different from what we expect today, look for your booster under the floor/pedal area.
Search on the forum for "tredlevac" and you should find many stories. Be cautious, from what I have read these fail without much warning.

Re: 1950 Packard 8 interior door panels

In 1960 dad purchased a new car and his 50 Packard became mine to drive. Among other projects I changed the interior door and side panels, while I wouldn't choose the same gaudy material today, they weren't difficult to change the cloth depending on your desired level of quality, at the most basic just lay the panel on the cloth of your choice and glue the cloth to the back of the panel, if missing the entire panel seems like it was a composition board similar to Masonite.

Re: 6 volt to 12 volt conversion

Probably just causing yourself more problems changing voltage, adding additional problems rather than solving the present ones.
Generally 6 volt uses heavier wire than 12 volt as it carries more amps at the lower voltage. Check battery cables to be sure that the terminals on both ends are clean and check that you are not using a light weight 12 volt cables. 12 volt cables appear to be maybe 3/8 inch around while 6 volt are closer to 5/8 - 3/4 in size to carry the load. Just a suggestion, check the timing, hard to describe, but when you say laboring, timing can give that feeling that the engine is fighting itself when cranking.
