Re: Part substitutions and interchangablity

The first pass would be to use the Packard Master Parts listing. If a starter from a 1951 had the same Packard part number as the 1954, you have your answer. Beyond that, some parts will interchange despite having different part numbers, which may or may not require some modest modifications. A good source for this information for many parts would be the Hollander Interchange Manual which would also show interchange between makes of cars.
