hello everyone. i have not been on this site for a while . i had computer troubles and just got back on line. I just got acquianted with this site last july when i bought my first Packard.
Here in Hilo< hawaii we get a lot of rain this time of year and i have had way too many projects that have kept me away from my car.
I tried to get the packard started, but it wasn't too willing. i always refer to this site for help. So yesterday i set out to replace the plugs, wire, cap and rotor . etc.
I noticed the old plugs were very loose. only hand tight, and very black. I replaced the plug wires because i noticed one was bad,,,it broke.
i worked real hard on the distrib. made it clean etc. cleande all the wire contacts, replace some old wire. new cap,rotor& points. I had a great time doing this. i just took my time. today she started up with out too much trouble. and i drove around the neighborhood.
this site sure is a big help. found out about lubricating the distrib. in 2 places. all great info.
now that i have the new computer i want to get more pix posted.
