Check out Ebay and search for Edmunds. They have an aftermarket Edmunds cylinder head and two barrel intake for sale. Price is kinda high but I'm sure it's pretty rare.

Google turbo flat head six. I think if you do a little research you'll find a You Tube video of a guy who put a turbo and a multicarb set up on a flat head six. I might have been a Ford or Chrysler engine but a flat head is a flat head when it comes to this kind of modification. He put a suck thru system on his and it really looks and sounds wild. It would be way cool to open up a Packard and see a nice neat turbo flat head under the hood.

Look in Hemmings for a Harmonic Balancer rebuilder. I know there is a company that does that. Can't remember the name. They would be the experts and could possibly rebuild yours to meet your requirements. At least they should have the resources to direct you to someone knowledgeable.

Just found a window regulator for my 39 Packard 1700, 2 door sedan. I found it on ebay for $60.00 and it was an NOS part. I would suggest you take it out and start Googling it. That's how I found mine. Kanter had one for, I think 114.00 but I'm not sure it would fit your car. Isn't finding 76 year old car parts fun???? To me it's finding them but not paying a fortune for them... Surprisingly they are still out there.

I have a 2 door sedan with the six cylinder. I'd like to hop it up a little, nothing crazy. Maybe just increase compression a little with a head shave, a three angle valve job and some minor porting.
I'd like it to look stock but have a little more potential. Right now it runs o.k. but uses oil. I got it slowed down but it's still not great. I get some smoke on acceleration or pulling a hill but the odd part is that none of my plugs are fouled or show any sign of oil. All are light to medium tan. Any suggestions on any of the above???

If time is not an issue most of these balancers can be rebuilt.
