hand spotlight

I have what looks to be an original hand spotlight. It matches what is in my operation and care manual for the 1953 Patrician..unfortunately it does not have the cord or plug. Can someone help with the size of wire, the book says it is 12ft. long, but not the gauge, and where I can get a plug that will fit the cigar lighter. thanks in advance for any info

dwightrh in response to plastic ducts for my 1953 a/c Packard.
I have found that they were an option available from the Kansas City Zone Office on April 20,1954
it is listed on The Robert H. Aller cd vol. 2 $12.00 net $20.00 retail.
hope this info resolves the question as to it being a Packard or after market item.
lots of good info on these c/d

I am not sure. the machine shop did not give details as to where it was cracked, need to follow up with them and maybe like yours it can be fixed

thank you Howard

the head I have had .007 shaved off to clean high and low spots, before I found the cracked block. would that be to much to use on the new engine??

Hello Packard experts.

will a 1954 359ci engine easily replace a 1953 inline 8 327 9 bearing engine. are the engine mounts the same, and the trans bell housing the same, also the intake and exhaust manifolds compatible. my engine has crack in the block and looking to replace it.
thanks for all your ideas and info

head removal

hello fellow Packard people
I am trying to remove the head from my 1953 patrician with little luck. all the nuts are off, and 7 of the studs came out with the nuts. I tried cranking the engine with the plugs in, but not enough compression to pop the head. will it be ok to use a chisel to wedge between the block and head or will this cause great damage. don't want to cause more work. any thoughts are helpful and appreciated.. Charlie
