Al,
for including your '40 One-Twenty Club Coupe in the Packard Owner's Registry.

See in your Project Status you say this "OD not working as of this writing. Electrical, not mechanical. Nor is the temp gauge or speedometer." Regarding the OD, a good check and clean of all the connections and contacts may be all that's required, that was basically what was done with my '41 120 Coupe. Temp gauge is mechanical with a bourdon tube supplying pressure to the gauge. If the tube or the gauge have leaked that may be why it isn't working. Found a guy here(Sydney, Australia) but that's no use to you. Someone else may be able to provide details of someone closer to you who can. The speedo could be a number of things but a broken cable is the simplest to check and fix. Good luck.

By the way, there's lots of info on my Blogs here:

Mal's '41 120 Coupe No longer active but lots of info on the rebuild of my '41.

Wade's Workshop Current blog with stuff on the '41 as well as lots of info about other Packards. You'll just need a couple of free days to read through it all!
