Haha Amen. But there is nothing to discuss!i

You might find some old shop that does alternators and generator service. You can give them your gen and regulator, or buy a new regulator from them for ~50 bucks, and they should have a bench where they can test run your gen and regulator as a system. They will know how to bend and gap everything to get the right cut off and on voltages.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but sometimes giving the parts to an expert is worth the time/cost.

Most everywhere I have heard and read that OD's should get 90w GL1 old fashioned gear oil. That is what I got for my 53 with OD.
Some use SAE85W-140 Valvoline High Perf Gear Oil, but I plan on staying with the 'oldfashioned stuff'

Thanks for the advice Jeff. I thought I remembered reading that somewhere. I got all four brakes together with the new cyls and new hardware except the old yellow springs. The rear drums are all sandblasted, just have to do the front drums and paint them, grease the front wheel bearings and I can put the drums and wheels on!
Next week I plan on putting the eingine and trans in the frame. I am debating on if I install the clutch and trans while the engine is hanging from the crane, or if I drop the enging in the mounts, then install the clutch and trans...
Here are a few pics from last night. The one spring on the drivers side brake I need to bend a little bit.

Finally got an evening back in the shop. All the hyd Lines are finished, and my brake cylinders and brake Hardware arrived. Cycle are in, but I have a question about The Hardware. Originally I had one Orange and one yellow spring on the Upper side of The brake shoes. The Kit i got from ebay has only Orange springs. The yellow spring is also slightly thicker 0,2 mm. Is there a difference?

Looking good. I see you painted the tops of the doors to match the roof, which I think is not 'packard original' at least my clipper was not like that.
I was however considering doing exactly what you did and paint the door tops to match the roof (jade body and dark green roof)...I'm looking forward to see what it looks like when complete! keep it up.

Exactly! Sorry about the pic that is sideways, but any trained Packard eye should pic that up. The Grease Catcher thing is the wrong way around.
