Re: Sources for EE23 Carb bowls

I would suggest that the answer is at the start of the Service Parts Listing for Motor Carburetor. Packard lists a different carburetor assembly with a Packard Part Number for the 12th/14th Series Eight( 216791), to the 12th/14th Series Super Eight (216790). I would further suggest that Packard in theory, did NOT overhaul the carburetors directly and sent them to a Stromberg recommended facility, which would then carry the warranty.
The Listing of the Bendix Stromberg Part Numbers for the EE22 and EE23 is for information only and not an exhaustive Listing, and not something which Packard has control of. The listings therefore are not absolute and for guidance only. The top of each listing states that "Dealers should order these parts through their Distributor" ( possibly useful for remote locations where Packard Dealers HAD to repair rather than send for overhaul).
Flackmaster has advised me that he has the scent of some suitable items at Hershey. I would really enjoy another energising "Packard Hunting Expedition" with the Flackmaster at Hershey and chilling with some packardinfo.com guys in the Packard Hospitality Tent. Best Regards, Peter Toet.
