I took another look at it & found some junk on the circuit board of the sender. It sort of works "better". When sender is at full, the gauge reads a little over 3/4. So 1/2 tank would be at 1/4, and so on. This is probably Chinese junk sender anyways. I'll need to just get an authentic type as you suggest or an NOS Ford unit. Not plastic & solder. Thanks for the help.

The reading is as follows; empty .132K, full .032K. I'm not into math, but is this 132 & 3 ohms? In any case should this sender work?

Last year I purchased a fuel sender for a 57 Ford from D Carpenter as mention in the X-reference for my 56 Executive. It never worked right. When the tank is full, it read near 1/2. Yesterday I removed it to see if the float was off adjustment. I pushed the float to full, but the gauge read 1/2. Gauge will go to full when grounded, so it works. Are these Ford gauges the wrong resistance? Any ideas?

I bought the motor used, it fit OK.The wiper arc is about normal ,covers the flat part of the glass.I really don't need it to clean the curved end. I didn't make any adapters. I think I used longer screws to bolt it on.maybe you need to remove the wiper arms put the motor on, make sure it's in park position, then put the arms on. Then adjust the cable. You might need to put some washers between the motor and firewall for spacers if it's too tight.

When you get tired of those vacuum wipers, install a 57 Chevy electric wiper motor, you can use the existing control cable. Works good on mine. I don't fear rain anymore.

Back on 11/9/12, PackardV8 suggested I could get adjustable T/L front end links from the Packard Library. I tried to this week & they don't have any, although the ad is still there.I guess we won't know how they work. Thanks anyways. By the way, I got rear shocks coming from Amazon, $25 ea.

I,ve heard of hot rod Lincoln, I guess this is hot rod Packard. Blairsville Pa. I heard it does not run, but I told a neighbor about this site to tell the owner.

Hi, My switch is probably wired the incorrect way, but I don't use it often, and when I do it's very little just to correct the height every now and then. If I remember, when I got the car it was maxxed out with the rear up. It was like that stored for years. Maybe there is something bent under there. But thanks for the info.

This car was purchased with those shocks already there. I think I know who installed them, I could ask for a part number. They were put on over 30 yrs. ago. Thanks for the info on the links, I'll get them over the winter time for next year. Also, I wired my T/L to a manual switch, I didn't want to mess with the factory stuff as I don't know if all the other stuff works. Thanks all for the replies.

Reading someone else's shock question, I thought I'd ask what might be wrong with spring loaded rear shocks. I have them on mine. Does thie mess with the ride? Also my left front is lower than the rest, can the torsion bar be weak?
