Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

No idea if the Henney idler is similar to the passenger car but if it is the idler is a separate bellcrank assy mounted to the frame below the steering column. The rod sizes in your list does not sound quite right but then it has been too long since I looked at a standard trans setup later than 47. If the rod sizes are actually similar to the 47 and the later Ultra rods, the 5/16 end would be on the adjustable rods connecting to the steering column levers and the 3/8 end would be on the rods going to the transmission.

This photo is from a 51 training manual and I suppose if you look just right there could be one rod of each size in both directions. Maybe they changed in 51 and the list is correct.
