Jack said"1. Why a low-volume manufacturer such as Packard chose two different makes of distributors, two of 4-bbl carburetors, starters, generators boggles the mind!

I believe Packard did so to keep their supply lines open. They had to shut down for a week one time because Bendix had a strike. So they used two different suppliers for many things including radiators, tires etc.
