Dave, too bad about the OD. I have always figured that most replaceable possessions are for sale, at the right price. How much did you get for the Clipper (just joking)?

Re: Valve lash cold on 288 engine

I would follow Owen's recommendation for cold clearances if you are doing an initial setting to get the engine running for the first time. If you are adverse to setting the valves with the engine running, you can run the engine to operating temperature, shut it off, check and set a few valves for the factory recommended clearances, and repeat until all valves have been checked and set. All of the valves are assessable with the manifold installed and the engine in the car.

Dave, thanks for sharing the photos of the Packards. The Clipper is looking real sharp. I guess all the pain memory with the clutch replacement goes away when you see your car on the field looking as good or better than others being shown. Glad you got it finished in time to make the show.

Re: Distributor Question
Home away from home
Home away from home

JWL
My impressions and recollections are that Autolite made higher quality distributors, generators, and starters than Delco Remy. That said, my 115C has a Delco distributor with the ball bearing breaker plate. This has given me good reliable service. I can see if the plate, bearings, and groove become dirty that the plate would not move freely. Good maintenance should keep it working in the way it was designed.

Re: 1951 300 Engine in 200s

Not according to anything that I have read.

Edit: Disregard the above. The option was first available in 1951. Beginning in March of that year.

There is an old saying that a flashlight (torch) is a metal cylinder for storing dead batteries.

Re: Fuel Pump Mounting Question
Home away from home
Home away from home

JWL
We have had discussions on this topic in the past. The oversize holes in the fuel pump engine mounting flange are to accommodate insulating fiber sleeves. In addition to the sleeves an insulating fiber gasket was used between the pump and the engine, and insulating fiber washers under the cap screws. All sorts of stuff has been used instead of the proper insulating fiber parts. As clipper47 notes there was also a provision for safety wiring the cap screws. Does your car have a heat shield between the manifolds and the fuel pump? This was also part of the original equipment. Good luck.

Re: What parts "typically" replaced in engine rebuild ?

Don't forget the timing chain or timing gears. The oil pump is important. Push rods might need attention too.
