Thank you all for the kind words. I really do enjoy driving my Packard when possible. As I write, southern Arizona's 'enjoyment' window is quickly leaving us, as the big heat is just around the corner. And because of that heat, I tend not to drive the 400 once our temperatures hit the mid to upper nineties. Too much ethanol in the fuel composition sold here also. Yes, my 400 will hiccup (vapor lock) every so often when the triple digits arrive. I know we southern Arizonans like to call it a 'dry heat', but frankly, it is just plain hot.

Re: the a/c unit.......not enough leg room for me to install, but I do like having that 6 bladed fan cooling my radiator.
