Delightful surprise visit by Phil from Tassie today!
Great to have a second set of eyes casting over a few of the immediate problems under the hood.
Phil helped solve a few of the small mysteries, such as how the oil filler tube is fastened to the crankcase. Phil also kindly took home a door hinge screw to replicate on his lathe.
Phil is one of the few currently active owners of Packards in Tasmania (although there are several Packards squirrelled away in sheds down here), and is the proud owner and restorer of a beautiful Third Series limousine:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/registry/index.php?Action=view&ID=565
In other news, I received an e-postcard from the fuel pump; it has arrived in New York on its whirlwind holiday!
The carburetor rebuild kit has arrived; so I've now got to teach myself how to do that.
And I've obtained some gasket material so I can replace some of the more basic gaskets myself. Planning to make my first one tonight; for the cover plate of the oil temperature regulator.
Cheers from Tas,
John
