John,
I just joined the group last week and started another thread concerning the wierd engine number on my 39 120 formal sedan (thank all of you guys for your expert acvice on that!!) , and I am reading this and noticed you are close by in Modesto. I am just over the hill in San Jose. I have an R6 on my 39 which I believe to be the factory set up, so if it would ever be helpful to you to take a look at mine during your conversion, and you don't mind driving over to San Jose, you are welcome. If you want, we could exchange emails.
You can find my car just recently entered in the owner's registry, a 1292 bodied 1939 120. Mind you, I am NOT a Packard expert, my other cars are Imperials and a DeSoto!! But I do attempt all my own restoration work.
Regards, Dennis in the east hills of San Jose, CA
