Thanks. First, they called asking me what kind of time frame I had on this job because they were having trouble finding an armature for the generator. Then today they called asking the series number for the car and something about there being 2 different Autolite starters used on those models and were having trouble with finding a solenoid. I still haven't figured out if the Chrysler voltage regulator was correct for the car or a misguided replacement.
What type of oil should be used in the transmission, regular rear axle oil? Thoughts on synthetic oil for the engine? Has anybody used FalconGlobal for brake parts on their Packards? Their prices seem on the high end of fair but not too far.
By the way Carl, I've been using some pics from your current engine work as a reference point. Keep it up!
