I too would like to know the closely guarded and boring secret from Flackmaster. Not just because there's now so much suspense in this thread, but because I bought a 38 Super 8 Club Sedan earlier this year. And infact Flackmaster had a history with that same car. You may recall his post:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=9207&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=10

Hmmm....I know part of that story. Someone called me a while back looking for the headlight parts for the car. Said he owned the car, long story about the missing engine. I'd have to dig into my list of referrals, but long story short, he challenged me to buy the engine from Ducketts estate. Which I did!. turned out not to be a 38 engine, so both of them were right. Weird small world...

I'm going to guess the achiles heel is that '38 Super 8 1604's don't come with '38 Super 8 engines -- based on Flackmaster's sad experience with the Duckett estate.
