Yes will verify this morning on that issue.
afterwards, I will once again turn my attention to the Carb.
WA-1 Carter model 477S, used on Packards 6's 1937 thur 1941
when the OEM Chandler Groves proved a nightmare. They went to a Carter WA1 359 S then to the 477s.
but anyways, Im now thinking that i re installed the metering rod assembly incorrectley.
I have a 1940 WA 1 Pontiac Carb. I opened the dust cover and looked at the set up.
when you move the linkage, the Accelerator piston mmoves down and the metering rod moves up. Both the metering rod and acceleraton piston are attached to the same lever.
thats for the Ponitac WA-1 ..A so called "see saw" effect.
see pic below. Pontiac the first two pics..packard the second two pics.
On the packard metering rod..im beggining to believe it should be under the cam lever pin..see pic. On the metering rod there is a weight with a spring inside it. It is my belief that the spring pushes the metering rod on the underside of the cam lever pin to keep tention..the same 'see saw' principle as the 40 pontiac WA-1 ..
Yours or any others thoughts. Perhaps some one who has a Carter on their 37-41 Packard six could remove the dust cover and advise us.
