Re: "53 Clipper

Thanks for the welcome! Believe me...I still can't believe I actually have a Packard to register! I can't stop going out to the driveway to make sure it's still there and not just a dream.

I'm just overwhelmed when I look at everything that needs to be done and how little I know about getting it done. I was very happy to find what I hope is a good parts car in the '51 300, but I don't what to get it if the parts aren't going to work on my '53. Looking under the hood of the 300, everything is there (unlike my Clipper). It has a carb, (which I need), but I can tell it's different, mine didn't have a carb, but it's got four ports where the carb mounts, so I figure I need a 4 barrel, the one on the 51 is a one barrel.

Any suggestions?
