Thanks for the lead Owen.
Thanks alot Craig I will read those right now.

My 352 calls for the Delco distributor correct? Will the autolite interchange?.

Any tips?

Hello I have a packard 352 engine and I have some questions so I can get my Packard running. Its a 55. And mated to a twin ultramatic. I got this engine with no distributor. Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 The distributor needed is a Delco 1110854 and I have all the specs on request. The Packard is also a ground POSITIVE car.

Are any aftermarket distributors available in points or hei system? I've read on other forums of GM hei conversions/adapting with pontiac/olds distributors with the current packard distributor. But I don't have a DISTRIBUTOR.. So?

Question/concern#2.
I want to run a th400 behind the Packard v8. I've seen adapter kits for around 800. I've also been following the thread on the HAMB on making your own transmission adapters. So I want to make/blueprint my own then take that to a mom and pops metal shop to get it cut. Any advise? Adapters, plates, bellhousing cuts/swaps I can provide any info you need on the Packard to help.

Option 2 and most wanted would be a manual transmission, this is a torquey engine keep that in mind.
Thanks Alot

Update. I found all the vent and black box that goes on the firewall in the trunk. I contiplated throwing a non Packard drive line but I'm gonna slowly build/restore the Packard V8. The ultramatic will most likely go and get replaced with a th400 or toploader once I figure out how to.

I'm still looking for a distributor and have emailed SW packard. Has anyone seen a YouTube video IRON KING with a Performance Packard V8?

Hey Gerry is Pac Sw a person? Does he post on hear?

Thanks alot Howard, have a good night.

I was under the impression that the 320s ran the autolite and the 352 ran the delco?. How could you tell it's a clipper moter or a packard motor. Kinda confused.


I also found a radiator with fan damage due to an accident. What do you guys think.
