G'day Craig,

Sorry about the age related comment. I guess age assumptions can be dangerous and I certainly didn't mean any offence. Moreover, if you consider yourself a young fella, albeit in spirit, then at one year older I should too and forget all about that senior cit crap.


No offense taken.

Back on the trans conversion topic:

KevinAZ's 55 400 "guinea pig" for the 4L60E conversion is typical of Kevin's attitude. If you've seen my website, his engine was also was the "guinea pig" for the full flow filter conversion. Many thanks to KevinAZ for his forward thinking and spending.

IMHO (In My Hunble Opinion), the 4L60E/4L65E/4L70E (all basically the same) conversion is the ONLY way to go on our V-8 Packards if you are having problems with the T-U. On my 55 Pat, I've never had a significant problem with the T-U that was rebuilt by Trowbridge Automotive (an old time drag racer including Packards) before I bought it, so right now I have no need for the conversion. But, if I needed one, that's the way I would go.
