I have a factory NOS one for it but it's not installed. I’ll try jumpering tomorrow once I find/borrow some cables. I don’t know if the motor has the power to switch it back and not sure if having the wheels hanging as they are will help or make it more difficult.<br> <br> In the meantime, I recently got a replacement brake access hole cover from Gerry after I noticed it was missing. However, today my main task was to remove the front seat and while doing so I saw that the plate was still there, or at least partially there but with a hole through it the size of the one in the floor. Wanting to remove one of the screws as a sample and trying to get a big screw driver into the slot, there were unexpected consequences! The lower hole is where the screw was.<br> <br> Replacement plate<br> <a href="https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/uploads/newbb/60923phpFY26lb.jpg" rel="noopener external" title=""><img src='https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/uploads/newbb/60923phpFY26lb_sm.jpg' border='0' alt='Original Image' style='max-width: 100%; height: auto;' onload="JavaScript:if(this.width>500) this.width=500" /></a><br> <br> Rust in the floor took out a large hole when I tried to remove the screw<br> <a href="https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/uploads/newbb/60923phpuycda9.jpg" rel="noopener external" title=""><img src='https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/uploads/newbb/60923phpuycda9_sm.jpg' border='0' alt='Original Image' style='max-width: 100%; height: auto;' onload="JavaScript:if(this.width>500) this.width=500" /></a><br> <br> I did get the seat out, though, but sustained an injury (nothing serious) so had to come back to the house but it was about time to do so anyway.

Much to my surprise, it started and ran well! Recently I had to remove the pump again due to the distributor drive plate having gone missing (never did find it) and am about to reinstall it which I thought I could do properly this time from the Service manual but no such luck as its instructions presuppose that it was installed a certain way the first time. What is the default procedure? I presume I need to set to the #1 to TDC first but then what? I see no specific markings on the pump to go by.

On some the pitted copper disc can also be removed and reinstalled so the unused side is making contact. If yours cannot be taken apart, there are also rebuild kits for many solenoids. If solenoid was also used on a GM product there is a good chance there was a kit but whether they are still around and plentiful is another matter. <br> <br> If it turns out it does need future work, you might see if you can find the actual solenoid number and check with Napa or maybe a rebuilder. For example the 55-6 solenoid rebuild kit is the Echlin STK2. That kit consists of an entire new moving contact assy with copper plate, hardware, and a new bakelite back with the molded in terminals.</blockquote></div><br> <br> Thanks Howard. I didn't see a way to disassemble the solenoid further without unsoldering wires and such. I decided against it. Rotating the studs would be rather simple, I may do that. The solenoid does have a number stamped on it, which I'll need to look at and record when I get home. It's likely that it was used on other makes and models.<br> <br> Regardless, I think most of my issues were due to the brushes being completely worn out. I don't think they were making much contact with the commutator. That and the wiring to and from the starter was ugly. But I will probably rotate those studs for good measure before I put the starter back in. No harm in that.

Except the rims. I took the rims today to the Tire Shop for stripping so that the rims could then be processed and made them ready for painting. The surface looks lousy and it will take some work to get it to the condition that the other parts are now. The tire shop that is familiar with truck tires with snap rings first took into account the thin and delicate rings and whether they could be brittle due to age and the chrome layer. It is also important to consider whether the rings can be put back on without damaging the paint layer on the rim flanges.<br> Unfortunately, I have never looked into these questions in detail myself. The finished painted rims were picked up in the USA and delivered back fully assembled.<br> My request now to the community... who can give me information about what to pay attention to and how, for example, to get the rings back on the rims without damaging the paint.<br> Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any meaningful information on YouTube regarding the disassembly and assembly of these pre-war wheels with the smalThin snap rings.<br> What tools I/theShop need absulutly to do this work right on this smal rings.<br> <br> I am grateful for any helpful informations.<br> <br> Karl Thu, 28 Mar 2024 14:01:18 -0100 https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=269380 Re: Stewart&apos;s 1955 Packard 400 [by Stewart Ballard] https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=269365 Project Blogs::Stewart's 1955 Packard 400<br> Yes, I know about the keys. <br> <br> The ignition key that I have did not fit the doors and the glove box key did not fit the trunk. <br> All should be good now.

So here's a recap:<br> <br> two weekends ago I was able to install the gas tank and verify that it wasnt leaking and the fuel gauge worked. I put fluid in the rear end and got everything else buttoned up. I forgot the last hose I needed to close off the system, didnt realize that until I was already 2.5 hrs into my trip back to my folks place... thankfully it was the weekend of my brothers wedding and my inlaws were able to stop by the house and bring it with them. I did get it partially installed but decided to wait to fully close the system off since I didnt want to open the filter/drier to atmosphere if I wasnt 100% certain the system would hold a vacuum because I felt I wouldnt have enough time to address any issue/leak that may arise. good thing I didnt connect that hose.<br> <br> The following weekend I was able to connect all hoses and pull a vacuum. Unfortunately once the vacuum pump was shut off the vacuum would creep back up to atmospheric pressure in less than a minute. Not good. Not knowing how to find a leak without a sniffer or pumping it full of dye I went to google and found a youtube video that said to pressurize the system with 30-70 PSI of shop air and listen for a leak. Well I found it!! it was the suction hose connection off of the evaporator. Removed the copper gasket, tightened the connection up and was able to pull 30 inHg and it held! while waiting for that I was having my mother go back and forth getting me belts that would work, found one that worked and was able to get the system charged up. I was only able to get the passenger side vent connected to the evaporator box, but I am thinking I may run a 3 in duct hose instead of the 4 in I got since there really isnt much room on the drivers side due to all the wiring. So I will run with one. So with the garage being 60-65 degrees it appeared I was getting about 40 degrees out of the … Tue, 19 Mar 2024 13:54:23 -0100 https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=268936 Re: Morticus&apos; Packard 200 Deluxe Touring Edition [by kevinpackard] https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=268849 Project Blogs::Morticus' Packard 200 Deluxe Touring Edition<br> Quote:<div class="xoopsQuote"><blockquote><br> Ross wrote:<br> Just lengthen the pull rod to the carb a bit until you like the way the trans upshifts.

Sometimes a dry bearing will shed rust powder at the seal. A ujoint issue could cause the symptoms you are seeing and feeling. Some joints have a grease fitting, and some have to be taken apart to grease them. Joint that have a grease fitting will usually respond to being greased, but sometimes grease will not reach all 4 of the bearings, which will cause problems. If you take any joints apart, don't lose any of the needle bearings, and be sure to put each part back exactly as it was. It's best to replace all the joints instead of just one, and before taking the driveshaft loose, mark every part so that it can be put back exactly as it was.

I didn't try the clips on an original but if they are something that comes up in your search, you might look into the details. Since the Hudson of the era didn't have running boards, a search under <em>Hudson lower side trim clips</em> might find them.

I might fine tune how these attach after some test drives. This is a combo of some tail lights, wireless bike lights, velcro strap and rubber 3m backing. The lights were roughly $100 all in but you could do a little cheaper (I bought the 4-light bike set in case I needed to tear down the lights to install). The one pic is the remote signal with the bike light that I embedded in the housing. The back you can see the charging cable with a cap so I can recharge without taking these apart. The light itself also has an extra square flasher (looks like a red button) that can be used in conjunction with the signal or as a hazard.

The sale prices on these are not high enough to justify restorations on them, or even close. However, I see this as a blessing in disguise, as you can find cars in "pretty darn good" condition for not a whole lot ($6k–$9k) or even cars in great/restored condition for $15k–$20k. In time I believe this will attract a good number more enthusiasts to Packards of this era. Anyway I digress...<br> <br> I've been thinking about it and to me, the most economical choice by far is to pick up on someone else's project, which you can often find by asking around. They aren't often advertised because it's the type of thing where then owner isn't necessarily planning on selling, but also doesn't have time to keep going on it.<br> <br> Just as economical is getting one already in good interior/exterior shape but maybe needs some sorting mechanically. It's counterintuitive but having a great interior/exterior is much more valuable than a car that runs and drives great, because you can go through the mechanicals to get them in good shape for only a few thousand (and often much less), yet a redone interior can be $10k, chrome is the price of gold, painting takes forever, etc. <br> <br> Some great recent examples of these are<br> - This project I found while tire-kicking a Cragislist ad for a different Packard (was in the same garage):<br><a href="https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=12534&post_id=244687#forumpost244687" target="_blank" rel="external noopener nofollow">https://packardinfo.com/xoops/h… Sun, 19 Jun 2022 14:52:02 -0100 https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=245074 Re: Overdrive for 1939 packard [by BDeB] https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=244731 Project Blogs::Overdrive for 1939 packard<br> The one for sale by Highlander160 is not an R6 but is an R9A for Senior cars from 1940 to 1947 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 18:59:30 -0100 https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=244731 Re: 1940 Radiator thermostat rebuilds [by Joe Santana] https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=244605 Project Blogs::1940 Radiator thermostat rebuilds<br> My experience with the sylphon.<br> <br> There were recommendations to have Automotive Restorations of NJ rebuild it, but they must cater to the Amelia and Pebble crowd because their price they quoted this morning was $795 to rebuild a 1940 sylphon.

Search "Kelch" on this site for more info on these interesting units.<br> <br> As higher-boiling ethylene glycol based antifreezes continued to replace the older low-boiling methanol, engine thermostats and hence operating temperatures increased the temperature of the coolant, making hot water heaters gradually the more favorable type.

They were bought out by Black Magic and have a new formula. (This ? was on my other brand sites too.) First thing they did was raise the price, to pay for the buyout, and eliminate refills size bottles. <br> I've used Wesley's stuff for 50+ years and run out of the old stuff, bought a new bottle, and it turned my new black wall michelins brown. Had a tough time cleaning off the scum. I wrote them, no response. No issue with the old formula. <br> <br> I've bought sodium metasilicate sol'n which is the main cleaner, and make my own, now. Works fine. Some huckster came by a few years ago and sold me some pre-diluted, worked just as good as the bleche-white.<br> There's some migration that occurs with the tire compounds when the brown color encroaches on the white wall at the boundary. Not sure it can be reversed. <br> I wouldn't buy those brand tires again or form that supplier. Someone doesn't know how to make WWs. I'm hearing more and more of this, so someone's substituting cheaper tires to the classic market.

After I replaced the oil cooler, everything seemed fine, until the replacement oil cooler failed, this allowed most of the coolant to enter the engine crankcase.this happened overnight, not during operating the engine. I had the original oil cooler repaired, pressure tested, and changed my engine rebuilders recommended oil from Fischer Classic Car Motor oil SAE 20/50, to Valvoline VR1 SAE 30, I also reduced the oil pressure a bit. I have taken the car out 3 times now, and everything seems to be in good working order. I will say that the second time around, even having to make my own gaskets, as ordering new ones was not on my time table, I able to make the repairs in 5 hours less. Practice.

Unfotunately it was very hard to find a auto body specialist. But surprisingly after 2 year waiting I found one just nearby.
