We have a 1940 110, the coil needs to be replaced.
The original coil with the heavy metal housing is over $400 to replace.
Is there an after market replacement available?
Are there any suggested wiring changes when the replacement coil is Installed?
thank You
John Miller

Kev, Would like to get $300 I had it plated a year ago.
I am open to offers
and;
If you find as represented send a check for our agreed amount.
If it is not as represented simply return.
Or, if a member has 1940 jr. trunk rack, 1940 deluxe Radio head, or 1940 flying lady hood ornament maybe we could work out a 3 way trade.
thanks
John

Have the following, would like to make a trade for a junior 1940 luggage rack and brackets and /or a complete radio head with buttons in good shape..
1. Pair of 1939 senior8/12cyl rear fenders and tail lights. Good shape some surface rust only. Tail lights do not have lenses. Fenders have 3 stainless spears.
2. 1951-54 senior hood ordamant, rechromed as new.
3. 1939 senior8/12cyl standard steering wheel. Good condition no cracks but needs to be resurfaced/painted.
The luggage rack and radio head will be used on a 1940 110 sedan.
Willing to talk any time.
Can forward pictures directly to your e-mail but cannot figure to how to include in the web site in a post.

Thank You
John Miller

Thanks,
By July / August will checkout a few other yards that are off the beaten path or currently closed. Until Steve bought Elm it was effectly out of business, now it is a real find.
Working on another yard with a 42 plymouth and 42 chevy only 1 Packard, to rusty to find much. Will forward when i have the info.
Spent my youth on these roads looking for cars and parts, so we will see Maybe we will have some luck.

Steve, at Elm Auto wreckers also has a 100 or so 20s,30s and 40s Fords, Chev, Plym, Cad, Hudson, Hupmobile, Chry, Olds, you name it, old cars and pickups for sale/parts.
See original posting for contact info.
If you have friend interested let them know.
Now I will be quiet.

If any of this is of interest Steve at Elm auto wreckers in Fresno has:
1. A 1951 200 complete except for tail lights.
2. What appears to be a 1942 clipper chassis complete sitting on its wheels plus door side window interior mouldings all 4 in good condition.
3. A 1948 standard eight no front clip, engine or trans otherwise all there including a decent interior and all exterior trim including the lower door mouldings, hot sun probably has baked the material.
4. A 1939 senior 8 sedan, body including doors and trunk lid but no front clip or rear fenders. Appears to be restorable with surface rust. Not sure about floors but trunk appeared solid.
Sitting on complete chassis but no motor or trans.
I was there today, and picked up needed parts to finish/upgrade my car. Prices were fair and condition as described.
I posted a reference to this yard previously and some members have been in contact.
We should save these Packards and parts before some have to be crushed.
Steve just recently purchased the yard, can be reached at 559-352-1407.
Thank You

Had the same problem. Advice given was to lubricate and clean all rubber bushings asscoiated with the torsion bar system. It worked, 2000 miles ago, no problems to date.
This assumes all the electrical for the torsion bar system is working. If you manually lower the rear of the car and it does not come up and the motor does not engage to raise the car most likely you have both an electrical and lubrication issue. If the motor engages and at some point raises the rear of the car then most likely a lubrication issue or worn rubber bushing issue.
I defer to others who may have more experience but the advice worked for me.
John

Now i understand.
Sorry to be so simple.
But always asking the question first,avoids ruining a project.
Again thanks for the clartification
