Dave, my manual was reprinted by SMALL WORLD PRESS, a cursory Google of that name was didn't turn anything up. Maybe Kev could chime in with a ruling on the legality of scanning a reprint for post. The photos in my copy wouldn't scan very well, they are already low grade but the text would be OK.

I think the shims in my engine were installed because somebody mis-judged the clearance needed for good oil flow and they just didn't want to re-machine the rods... They are crude looking. My 30' Chevrolet had factory shims installed, they were much nicer. Overall though, I'll take the Packard
