I think I get the drift. It's at least important for questioners on specific technical points to do a search of past threads to find their answers. It's nice of you more knowledgeable folks to share what you've discovered, too. Why not have a dedicated thread or special section on "modification tips" that lists some of the most commonly accepted solutions, and resources for parts.

I learned a lot in a hurry from a section on common modifications and improvements on the D24/P15 site for postwar Dodges and Plymouths. I was helping a buddy get his '47 Dodge going--for FREE! (It was well worth the time.)

It is easier to do this kind of "modification tips" section when the technical points cover only a couple of model years, like the V8 Packards.

So maybe it would be better to put a thread in the V8 forum, so the questions can be answered with a simple: "Go to the Modification Tips and look up TreadleVac" or whatever the commonly modified item might be-- disc brakes, electric wipers, ignition upgrades, oil pump "issues" and PCV are a few things that come to mind.*

Just a thought.

(Calm down, Eric, it's just "the penalty of leadership.")

*Note: There may be differing opinions on these solutions, your mileage may vary, under penalty of law.
