Re: Stewart's 1955 Packard 400

I picked up the water inlet from NAPA this morning. It's cast aluminum and about 1.5" taller then the original. The bolt holes are a very close match but not close enough to bolt right on. Also the bolt holes are two small.

Hopefully I can drill out the holes to make then larger and that, in turn, will align them better with the original. I think it will be usable unless someone gives me a reason why that extra height is going to effect something else later on.

I'll keep you posted.
