Hello Mal, My 56 Patrician has only 53,000 miles from new but, has been converted to RHD with a Ford Fairlane power steering set-up, which is quite different to the Monroe pump. I believe that Geoff is looking to replace the upper oil heat exchanger cooler hose. My Patrician no longer has the heat exchanger fitted but has a front mounted air cooled heat exchanger. I would prefer the original set up and shall do this perhaps one day.

Re: One new crown wheel two pinions which pinion fits please

Generally yes, but IIRC they will have individual part numbers and are a companion set and still require
setting up in the pumpkin. They really become a "matched set' when they wear in together. Then you should not separate the set. However, the person was given one unused crown wheel and two unused pinions. The problem is which pinion is the companion part number to the crown wheel. I have a number of companion sets in the Club Stock so I shall see if any numbers co incide. I know that I have seen a listing of Crown wheel/ pinion matched numbers but cannot locate it at present.

Hello all, someone has asked me a curly question. He is replacing his original crown wheel 333952-11-50 pinion set up with a numerically lower set up. He has a crown wheel 357810-45-11 and two pinions...
6-49 30661 or 6-49 30765. I recall having seen a crown wheel/ pinion listing but cannot find it in the Service letters or Parts listing. Is anyone able to advise which of these pinions will suit the 45-11 crown wheel Please? Peter Toet. Technical Officer, Packard Automobile Club of Australia.

Hello all, it is apparently a Dietrich Detroit body plate for his 626 Speedster. Can someone please advise where this should be affixed?

Absolutely agree, I checked my 533 and the plate on my 533 is 304. still on the original timber floor in the back in the same position as your 633. I shall get Will to send me a pic of the plate. Since ( if it is authentic) it was a 626 Speedster it may have a special Packard plate. I am quite intrigued as I had no idea a genuine RHD 626 Speedster was in OZ. He apparently also has a 645 RHD rumble seat coupe. The outcome could be interesting.

Hello David, It is not for this plate. it is a plate about the same size but with two number sets on it. It is for Will Kirkby who apparently has a 626 RHD 385 Speedster (yes, I never knew that there was one in OZ). I shall go over to Jacobs Street and have a look at where the plate is on my 533. Thanks for the input. Peter T

Helo all, Attached are Packard Service letters on fitting 288 engines to 37 120C ( but will suffice for any 282 engine fit). I used these instructions to fit a 288 ( 327 plus 40 thou) to my 1938 Richards Touring. It runs very well with lots of pep. I also fitted an R6 OD as it didn't need the governor and less X frame massage. using Holley 600 carb. I used the 282 front engine mount. It is a bit fiddly but you should get another 60-70 hp out of the old girl.

Hello all, I am the tech officer for the Packard Auto club of Australia and have been asked "where is the mounting place for the Body Plate on a 626". This is not the delivery plate on the firewall. Please advise and a pic would be good if possible, Thanks.

As we used to tell people with the Army RM285 Mack trucks. "The fuel gauge does not have to be accurate when it is full...it is more important to know how it reads when it is EMPTY". My 38 Richards Six reads about one-eighth full when it is empty. it has done so since 1973.
