So, Quiteride called me today.

The "mold" for the 55 & 56 Packard plenums was actually destroyed in some sort of accident in the recent past.

A few of you may remember that this is the mold that Henry Greene assisted with a few years back. They created that mod from his plenum. He went over it in detail in his project blog back then.

They have the drawings but they said it's going to take 6 months to get a new mold and there was some question about a couple of measurements. I am working with them to get the answers they need, hopefully.

I was hoping to get the dash back in place in the next couple months. Can I install the firewall pad and dash/wire harness and then install the plenum down the road.

I have a friend with a 36*120 with a dual master cylinder and a small vacuum booster. However....

The answer is NO. Nobody makes a kit to do this. Every one I have seen (and I've seen at least a half dozen) has been slightly different, the result of personal engineering skills. Think about the liability to sell a kit to retrofit brakes on an automobile. Not a territory I would want to get into.

Can it be done, definitely.

Should it be done? What's wrong with the brakes the way they are? Up into the 60's Ford and Chrysler were still using single master cylinders...My 120's are perfectly safe and drivable with factory setups...
