When I was young we towed home a 50 ,How do I know , one day I lifted up the back seat,and under the cushion waas a bill fromm sears repair falcility. Anyway I was young . My bro brought home a co worker,who raced cars,and they got it running. They put in a 12 volt battery. Turns out that dashboard lit up. And it was this uniqine color of purple, I will always remeber that. I not implying this packard had a heater core under the seat . And I bought the Packard gold portifolio 1946-1958 book. (Quite a few years)So looking on this web site ,You all say the treadle vac is a bad way to go , I was just curious ,what components are used , how does it work? The packard went to the scrap yard in the 70's.( I like reading that book when time goes by and I haven't looked at it for awhile. This packard was green , I had taken the cylinder head off ,and had it cleaned up .The friend I gave it to said the teacher had cleaned it personlly.
