Good that things work mechanically. Question is why solenoids aren't working it. If the 30 amp fuse is connected to buss bar between solenoids, and solenoids coming in then seems like only thing left would be something with the cable to motor or some really dirty connections--unless both solenoids have failed which seems unlikely. Be interested in hearing what you finally find to be electrical problem.

Packard height spec was 10 inches from ground to bottom of body side sill measured under center pillar. A 3/8 variation between sides was acceptable. Usually that puts things in front about midpoint between the suspension bumpers and in the rear, fender skirt bottom about middle of hubcap hexagon. If yours is much different, it's possible your car has sagged over the years. There are adjustable load links for the front being reproduced that can change the height a bit.

The leveler really doesn't do much for front as you've found. The action is in the rear where it will keep level with 6 passengers and 400# luggage.
