Made two of these of 1/16th inch neoprene cork instead of the usual 1/32" gasket material, thinking my '47 Super Clipper's gooseneck base had a leak. Turned out to be from the pipe above running a hose to the rear core plug to help coolant flow rear of engine, per a late friend with a '47 Custom, our new brass water distribution tubes notwithstanding.
This pipe probably overkill. Tightened it, voila. A lifelong multiple Packard owner says he's never seen such arrangement on a Packard, but has on Chrysler straight eights. You?
Send me five bucks and I'll mail one of these lovelies to you, otherwise they'll just be another bit I don't need.
