Re: 28 5-26 Carb Rebuild Kit

Hi 526:

There isn't much to the Packard carburetor besides the throttle rod and the float needle and seat. It's made out of bronze and virtually indestructible.

One place that does those older jobs is Classic Carburetors in Arizona. They might be willing to sell a needle and seat. With a little practice making gaskets yourself from paper stock will work as well. However, for the carburetor intake you need to special order FelPro flame proof materials from NAPA.

The biggest problem I've run into on those units is flooding because the needle and seat is shot. The next is intake gaskets made out of paper that blows out.

Hope this helps.
