I would think you told the folks at Kanter Auto Products what you were ordering the bearings for - a 1938. Kanter does not normally supply the earlier bearings - relying on you to pay to have your rods resized to accept the later bearings. yeah, thats the way its been for years due to the limited availability of the early bearings...but they are out there. I have a good supply of them, and sure I'd be happy to supply them, but my reply was not wholly self serving...firstly simply to answer your initial question.

What size bearings is your crank cut or polished for?

DAF

Edit - removed lame reference and Kmart reference. (and Kmart is not meant to be offensive, many Packard people I know simply refer to Kanter Auto Products as "Kmart." Sure, Packard guys that have been around forever know that the you can resize the rods for the late bearings. Footnotes, asterisk's and fine print aside (yeah, bold print too) it seemed that the original poster did not catch the issue and felt caught by surprise.

PS - I have .030 early rod bearings available.

PPS - a limited run of the flanged 320 bearings were produced about 5 years ago, some may still be available, contact me if you need a set.
