Thank you. I'm on it. Stay tuned. Quick question........compatible 6 volt ignition coils......advan-tech, united, standard, duralast, napa, spectra, master pro all jive...car has delco-remy distributor/points. will a petronix flamethrower II coil be compatible even though I do not have a petronix ignitor? what brand with the tan top and made in usa sticker is the one I pulled out of the car? I noticed the secondary resistance on the old one was 1.5 ohms, the new standard coil i put in has both a lower primary and secondary resistance. could the lower resistance be tied to the car bogging at cruising rpm?

Hi Howard. I hope you don't mind as you have been very helpful. I have pulled off a school boy error. Navigating to the correct forum has been a challenge for me. Any-who, I recently went through the warm weather/cold weather Carter WCFB 2112S flooding circus. All is well, pedal to the floor and ether....however, in the process I changed the plugs, coil and added a new rotor. Unfortunately I did not mark the location of the rotor. The engine bogs now at cruising rpm around 30mph-40mph. Bogging and pulling sensation. Aside from carb adjustments, carter wcfb trouble-shooting point to "defective distributor advance mechanism" hence the rotor. I assume the issue is caused by me not precisely aligning the new rotor. Since I did not mark the location of the rotor how do I now align it correctly? Is it as simple as pointing it to the number (1) plug/cylinder on the distributor?

The top two are new. One is stainless steel and the other is aluminum. The bottom one is original. The diameter of the original gauges is 3.125 inches. The panel was held on simply by little clips behind on the chrome gauges rings. No adhesive or screws. I learned that the hard way. The new panels were made with gauge circles with a diameter of 3.40625 inches so as to fit directly over the original panel and gauge rings. Attaching it securely will be a challenge. Thoughts are welcome?

Hi Howard. Just a heads up. All worked out well. No more oil leak. Thoughts on my Auburn style dash panel for 1954 Senior Packard's?

Thank you Howard. Great info on the bracket issue. Regarding the engine oil sending unit, I received a new adapter and new unit/switch. The new switch does not screw all the way into the adapter. The old switch does appear to screw all the way in the original adapter though. The issue appears to be common on the internet for modern cars. (TAPERED) 1/8th NPT vs BSPT vs straight thread adapter. Is it ok to screw in just to as far as it goes with teflon tape or is it necessary that the switch screws all the way into the adapter?

Very good question regarding the air cleaner.The purpose could be said (logically) to get cooler air from the front of the engine.....but the plenum looked kind of like the McCulloch supercharger in the 1954 Packard Panther so I gave it a shot...love it or hate it...there is significant vibration though that did separate the filter from the tube so I removed it...the clamp doesn't hold well...the weight distribution is questionable with the plenum heavier than the filter (no support) but it seems ok...It has a Joe's Racing 8 inch 1/4-20 air cleaner stud...but once I put the Holley air cleaner gasket on, everything slid back and forth due to the vibration...correct assumption the carb pot metal might not hold up...I removed everything and put the O'Brien Truckers air cleaner back on...it has their Carter WCFB adapter to 5 1/8 carb air horn/flange/neck and fits nicely.
