Yes!
Thanks Howard, maybe we should have a copy saved in Packard Literature and Manuals?
Wes

Didn't someone redo the wiring diagram for the 47 Clipper and did it in color? I look in the Packard Literature and Manuals and only found the old original copy.
Thanks!

Oh, I guess you need to buy break-in oil also.

Here's a good little video on rebuilding an oil pump and what to look for. I know it's not a Packard but most of the old oil pumps worked basically the same.

Richie, I don't know if this will help, but if your replacing the head gasket yourself. I would remove all nuts and hardware and with the sparkplugs still in, crank the engine over a couple of times. This should loosen the head over the good cylinders and then use a thin putty blade to work the forward part of the head loose. Maybe something in the middle to hold the head up in the back and then push down on the rear of the head to break the forward loose. Also a good engine hoist makes the job a lot easier. And while you have the head off, have it check that it's flat.
Now that I think of it, when was the last time you checked the torque of your head nuts? Maybe it's too late now, but just asking.
Wes
Just my two cents!

Not sure if this is what your looking for, but here you go.

Yes Ozs, That's what I was thinking about.
Thanks!
Wes

I forgot who, but someone here, just in the pass month showed how they replaced theirs with a new one that they made. (I think.) I forgot if it was in the Project Blogs or this one Post War forums.

Stewart, are the holes recessed where the two halves mate together?
Wes

Maybe the problem was corrected in the later years, but here's what I was talking about. See the picture below.
