Mine were on the windshield post when I got it
First thing I did was take then off, they hit the doors window if the windows were up. I am looking for the ones that attach to the doors just above the hinges. There is a pic of my car in the registry 1936 120B Conv/coupe Good luck with her W

Sounds like I am going to leave it alone. Brakes were just gone thru all new cylinders, hoses, cut to fit the shoes to the drums and it stops pretty good, (like a loaded truck)
I second the copper alloy brakes line and any other metal tubing. Used it on my G wagen, easy to work with, does not rust. I would also add that I would get a tool to flare the end. I usedhttp://www.toolpan.com/Mastercool-72475--Universal-Hydraulic-Flaring-Tool-Set_p_18897.html?gdffi=d5de8d975e554fe98677ff5f83efd439&gdfms=501B21C247FD45DA81BB52DD7C69083A&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjYXu2Ois2AIVE4GzCh1mKQoCEAQYAiABEgLQdvD_BwE , bit expensive but work like a charm. Thanks again for all your input W james

Not looking to change my brakes. Someone told that a duel master cylinder does not affect points at a show, I already have turn signals and seat belts but the rest I want as original and as safe for daily driving
Thanks for your input W

Thinking of converting my master cylinder to a dual in my 36 120.
What is the best and easiest conversion I could pursue? W

I have just found the choke cover and spring that goes in the exhaust manifold.
What kind of finish should it have? Porcelain, ceramic, or just paint. I would think that porcelain or ceramic would interfere with the operation Thanks again for your attention W James

Re: 120 Ceramic manifold coating

As I am new to Packard, I chose ceramic finish instead of porcelain finish because is seem that the ceramic finish will last longer and stay nicer longer than porcelain. I was told that if I use this a a daily driver, I should expect the porcelain last about a year, the ceramic could look good for a lot longer. As this car is a driver ( that why I have it) I want it to look good as long as I own it
I am going to go with no coating where the manifolds bolt to the block or carb, but all the rest gets coated. The surfaces that the washer meet the manifolds are going to coated. going to take heat rise flapper apart before I send it out, then rebuild after it comes back Thanks again for all your help, you guys are great W James
