I am thinking about rebuilding an 120 engine that came with the car when I bought it.
Question: What is a good engine stand to rebuild a 30's Packard straight 8. I have a KR Wilson stand for Fords and I have heard that there was an adapter but I have not seen one At this point, I am old & fat and I don't enjoy wrestling with an engine on a bench or hanging in the air so I need a stand that you can turn. Thanks Will

The Optima red top came with the car, been running it for two years, opened it up under the seat to see what it looks like, never touched it again.
Also I have a cut out switch so it turn off all the power when it under the cover Hope that helps Will

Had the same issue in the spring, especially when hard braking ( it would change lanes ) bad wheel cylinder leaked fluid on the shoes. Buddy said that it would be hard to get all the brake fluid out of the polluted shoes, replaced them, solved the problem

Sorry, I did not want to offend any Big/Senior Packard people. I have had my car for less than a year, could not afford a Big Packard, but wanted one for myself.
Sorry again, I watch my post more carefully W

On another note
Does anybody know of a tender that will work with a 6V gel cell ( optima )? Purchased an expensive tender only to find that the direction say it should not be used for gel cells thanks W
