The car is more front heavy than I expected. Not that it matters.

In case any one wondered what the corner weights are on Patrician. It does have a GM 4L60 and not an Ultramatic also an aluminum Dana 44 not Paxkard rear axle.

No Burnouts. Just wanted disc brakes on the rear and this seemed more straight forward than converting the original axle.

For Packard Don, its a Dana 44 and the donor vehicle has a higher axle load rating than the Packard so it shouldn't be a problem.

A 1999 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee rear axle will fit a 51 to 54 Packard and allow use of stock wheels, leaf springs and shocks. I'm doing some modifications on mine but that isn't necessary. I'm just tacking things together and once the shocks arrive I will figure out how the swaybar will be mounted. Unsure if arms will go forward or back.also not sure if swaybar is going above or behind the axle.

Thanks

I'm not sure what is in it. I just bought the car.

Has anyone tried Red Line Oil MTL (Manual Transmission Lube) in a car with a 3 speed manual and B-W overdrive? It is a 75W80 brass safe oil that in other applications has helped worn syncros.

On the 2nd cylinder to fire on the pair of siamesed intake cylinders are you getting different plug colors like the half are running rich and the other half lean? Cylinders 1/3/6/8 versus 2/4/5/7 robbing fuel?

Thanks,

Thanks!!

I have a platform lift which doesn't work for lifting a body. It is stored from my last house. I like the gantry idea but will likely attach the I beam tracks to the building.

Thanks.
