I count eight spark plug wires. The thermostat housing is the definite sign that this is our old car. Notice the two bolts on the front, where normally one bolt would be. We broke off the original front bolt, and drilled two holes on both sides and put two bolts in.

Compressor is probably the same one used in the Cadillac. Very, very similar to the ones used on the Senior Packards, but I think slightly different. Even finding the more "common" Senior Packard compressor is almost impossible, but to find one of the Clipper compressors is probably not going to happen. We may be the guilty ones in losing the compressor for this car, as I believe we sent it out to get rebuilt, and it eventually got lost. Like I said, we still have the bracket.
