Dear All,

Please accept my apologies for the very delayed response, life got even busier than normal!

@ Ozstatman: Thank you for the warm welcome. My 200 is not in as presentable condition was what I have seen on this board and I didn't think is would be worthy of registering.

Its a "barn find" that I am going to breathe some life back into because I think the car and Packards are great vehicles and a part of the fabric of automotive history and aren't seen often enough.

@ JD: Thanks a bunch for pointing me to BigKevs thread, I learned a lot and really appreciate it!

@HH56 Thanks for the wealth of information: I do not have a lockout knob under dash so I don't believe my 200 has OD. I have the below little list gathered of items that need tended to for the 12v conversion, hope I haven't overlooked anything

Ballast Resistor
New Horn Relay
Replace all light bulbs
New Coil
voltage step down resistor for the clock
Either a motor voltage step down resistor, or fresh air blower motor out of a 55 or 56
alternator
New Starter Solenoid
