The gauge I just do not see me under that dash with the clutch pedal in my neck trying to remove it. There's an Ammeter/Gas Gauge for a '41 120 on eBay now - packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... lat&order=ASC&start=0&post_id=27572 But we removed the complete dash in order to access everything there for re-wiring. Even that was a struggle. Regarding the sending unit, it should probably work after a thorough cleaning. NOTE Getting a good ground is critical to it's operation.

Passionate person projects a perfectly pontificated persuasive portrayal of the power of Packard! Well said Andy!

My pickup tube/sending unit is on the front on a slight slope whereas it appears yours is back on the tank and even (hard to see it) attached with screws? Your looks longer than mine but that just might be the photo angle. Couple of further pic's of the 41 120's tank. Pickup tube/sending unit is on top of tank forward of centre on the upper flat surface, behind the dish on the upper front, and is attached by 5 screws. I'd imagine length would be the same. Quote: HH56 wrote: This may explain the difference in tanks. Maybe some engineer had to work on one like Mal's and found out it was a PIA. Howard, It is a PIA! But from the parts book it looks like the 41 tanks for the 120(1901) was a completely different tank to that for earlier years. I've included some pic's of the replacement aluminium tank that Wade had fabricated for his '37 120 but they don't really tell the story. I never lined up the '37 and '41 tanks and compared them. If the old '37 tank is still around I'll have another look it next week. EDIT - Caption on 5th pic should be 358017.......

Would have loved to be able to do step 2 but my '41 120 fuel tank has a metal filler tube without a rubber section between it and the actual filler. If it had it would have made step 5 very easy. And it wasn't so much the removal of the tank it's more the re-installation that's a problem with a complete filler neck Attach file: (21.84 KB)

Willie, or is it Bill, I see you've now got a pic of the '48 Custom 8 in the Photo Gallery with the comments "I bought this Custom 8 Victoria Convertible in Ft Lauderdale, FL in September of 2008. When I went to post it on the Packard Photo Gallery, I saw that someone else had posted photos of the car in June of 2008, three months before I bought the car.Bill Jones Jr. of Garden City, KS aka Williej". A very nice surprise indeed! And, I also see you have a '41 120 Convertible Coupe in the Photo Gallery. Can you please include it in the Owner Registry as well as the '48?

G'day again Andy,
Ozstatman, No, I don't have an engine or transmission yet. - A few leads given already from the members here, hopefully you'll find an engine and trans soon. Carlmadsen, Where is the forum for buying and selling? - Go to Main Menu(at left), select "Packard Forums", then scroll down and select the "For Sale, Wanted, Trade Forum". You can create a topic and post there just like in this Forum. Owen_Dyneto, Where is the download for the parts book you wrote about? I can't seem to find it. - Go to Main Menu(at left), select "Packard Literature and Manuals" and use the search function. Although someone will probably jump in and post a direct reference or link. 38super8, How do I start a project thread? Do I just start one the way I started this one or is there a different place on this site for that stuff? - Go to Main Menu(at left), select "Packard Forums", then scroll down and select the "Project Blogs Forum". You can create a Project Blog for your '52 and post there just like in this Forum. Love reading members Blogs and be sure to include lots of pic's! Denny Z, I've had my car for only a few days and I've been asked "Who makes Packard" at least ten times already:) - And when you take it out remember to allow extra time for all the people who want to talk to you about your car or their stories, etc. Sorry guys if I've answered for you, it's just our timezone(Australia) can be conducive to respond to late night US posts.

Can't shed light on your queries but imagine the Roster Keepers for your year/model Packard at PAC and PI would be best placed to provide answers. And I invite you to include your '48 Custom 8, a very nice looking car from the pic, in the Owner Registry here together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it.
