Very small leak, but was thinking long term.

Got my 55 Clipper on the road & while she runs & drives well, I have massive blow by. Looks like I need to work on a plan. Live & learn.
Best wishes with the car & job deal. Dave

It worked this time. Thanks. Any suggestions on how I might contact the owner of the 1956 executive in Middle Tennessee. It would be nice to have a local contact.

Adam,
 for including your '56 Four Hundred Hardtop Coupe in the Registry, looks good!As for contacting that other member, believe you're referring to PackardV8, Keith, who posted earlier in this thread. Just go back to one of his posts, click on his forum name then on the PM link button and send him a PM.

Just started a few days ago and am still figuring things out. Are you the owner of the norwegian forest 56 Executive in the Packard Registry? If so, that's a good looking Exec. I put our 56 400 (my Dad and I are co-owners)on the registry (Persian Aqua and Dover White). I'm in the Smyrna area of Middle Tennessee. Do you know of any folks in Middle Tennessee who know how and do work on Packards (i.e. paint, upholstery, mechanicals)? I'm trying to make any contacts I can for future reference. It seems as if the "Southeast Packard Club" is not active, even though it's listed on the Packard Club web site as a local chapter.
Thanks, Adam

Got a quote from "The Radiator Lady" for a full aluminum radiator for $450 with stock mounting location and hose location. Will just need to drill the mounting holes. Seems less than a record and probably more efficient. Only thing I'm torn on is it is very much not original.
