Good Morning to you and welcome to our site and welcome to the wonderful world of Packard Automobiles.

You will find many people on this site to help you. Kanter 800-526-1096 and Max Merritt 800-472-2573 are good places to start for parts.

You might find that you can purchase good used or new old stock head bolts and nuts for your new Packard for less than the price that you have quoted from the firms above.

Depending on where you are located, you might find help from another member of the site.

One note of caution, Packard Engines were at the top as regards quality...put it back together as it was intended to be assembled. Helicoils work fine.

A shop manual is really helpful if you are doing the work yourself or if you are going to have a shop do the work, they will appreciate the information in the manual. It should be available on this site or on Packardclub.org.

Easy does it and you'll have the old girl running before too long...Ernie in Arizona
