Not going to be any kind of family vacation this year, so we are filling that up with car shows around the area.
this last weekend we drove the car it's longest jont. We went to Dallas for the University Park car show.
Lots of fancy cars there. Several Morgans, Ferraris, a Graham, Jaguars, even a Brass era car. Mine was the only Packard and we one first in Vintage Luxury and we got the Chairman of the carshow top pick!
The Packard drew a heavy crowd. We had a great time as a family.
the drive there was uneventful and the car drove 60mph with no issue, well except the stumbling which was remedied by turning on the electric fuel pump.
When we got home put the car up and checked over everything, which is when i noticed the carb was leaking fuel out of the throttle shaft and had been for a bit.
the carb was cracked and jb welded by the place i had it rebuilt at. and i really dont care about outing them at this point since they didn't own up to it and they never got back with me on my proposed solution to what they did.
I believe they broke it when they were rebushing for the throttle shaft. they also reused the wrong screws on it instead of putting in new ones.
Hopefully i can come up with a solution before the Concours in two weeks.
My son wanted me to take him to school in the Packard today and it really sucked having to tell him no due to the problem with the carb. really chaps my hid.
