Hello Flackmaster. I thank you for bringing my carburettor problem to a wider audience, the comments so far are most interesting. because of the small number of existing Packards in S.Africa this type of experience is not available. So i thank all of those who have given their views. As my car is a fairly original 120, except for the paint and upholstery [i have found an exact match of the material used] i want to restore it as close to original as is possible and practical. Therefor a Stromberg EE-14 or 16 is for me important. I accept that the 14 may be a bit troublesome but i feel that ,that goes with the territory and must be accepted as part of originality. My manifold is the correct one with a space for the thermostat. I have also noted 34PackardRoadsta's advice of the availabilty of the thermostat from Max Merritt.Thanks.
I thank you for all your effort and reaffirm that an EE-14 or 16 remains my choice. Regards.
