I just got off the phone from talking with the mechanic that's doing the valve job on my '51 about this package. He said given that these engines which were designed for lead and now have to deal with no lead PLUS alcohol; he thought this sounded like a great idea. So I'm going to try and nail one.
I have one question. They list an adapter plate for Packard 8s (except 120) from 1939-1952 and Packard 120 from 1935-1947. My '51 has the 288. Is the '51 288 the same set up as the '47 120? Or would I go for the plate for the non-120 8cyl?
