See post #12 above by Trog:
"My brother has both an Edsel and a '56 Lincoln Premiere with Treadlevacs and we've not experienced the problems we've known on the Packards. Also he rarely needs to top off the reservoir. On all four of my '53-56s, I need to top the reservoit off several times a year. And on the Premiere and Edsel, access to the unit is right there up high rather than on the ground and in the floorboard.."

I know Trog. He is most meticulous with all of his many vintage cars and stores them under superb conditions.

we need to know the difference, if any, between TV's on Packard vs other makes. Maybe there is a an extra seal on the other makes between the vac can and the MC that packard chose to delete for cost reasons. How much higher did other mfg's set the TV than Packard.

Maybe some of the Country Club service suppliers need to chime in here like the Egge rep did for the pistons. THis is the problem. Service providers say NOTHING. "Just send us your junk and some money" is their attitude. When that doesn't work anymore they will probably just stop rebuilding the Packard units.
