Re: Packard Parts X Reference

How "current" does the info have to be???? There MIGHT be some issue with modern day part numbers that have changed over the decades but that is not is a major hurdle.

e.g.: If ANY x-ref from ANY source indicates that a 50's Chevy distributor cap fits a 55/56 Packard V8 then any reference to it as "current info" or not or unkown becomes vacuous. One simply accepts the info, goes to auto parts store and asks for part. If only part number is given then any obsolete part numbers can be crossed into a modern part number using various resources or found on eBay.


Efforts relative to ANY collectibles requires some owner research that is more intense than just dialing a phone and reading a number from a plastic card. Such research/developement is not something that can be handed to a local garage UNLESS one is willing to pay on a TIME AND MATERIAL basis.

Collectibles are not for everyone.
