The majority of the 1956 400s and Caribbeans I have seen have Monroe. Both of my cars are original and they also have Monroe. I don't know the reason for some cars being equiped with one system and identical cars having the other. Maybe Packard didn't want to be tied to only one supplier, who knows. As far as the unit being frozen up, it will have to be sent out for a rebuild. If yours is a Bendex system, you can rebuild the control valve yourself quite easily. That still leaves the ram to send out.
