Can't speak to senior 30s cars but for what it is worth, first photos I find showing a firewall coil on smaller engines appear to be for 41. I believe 41 must be the first year Packard placed coils on the firewall in any of the other models.

I'm repairing and using the original seat covers. I have some material on order from SMS to replace the light gray fluted portion of the seat back. Hopefully it arrives early in the New Year, just about ready for it.

bolted to head is correct.
cutting out possibly related to the wire encased in from the ignition switch...common problem of 80 year old cotton wire deteriorating/shorting out. Have I seen mounted on firewall? Yes. Is it necessary to relocate. No. NEW Replacement coils, however, are not available with the bracket, so best plan is to get a new cheap 6v coil, temporarily placed and see if it solves a COIL problem. if it still cuts out, gonna have to do surgery on your ignition switch to replace the wire....

To SMS? They don’t work on seats so you need to remove the upholstery and send it to them (without the seat).

Right spindle back on the car. Gave it a quick coat of paint and a new grease fitting. I always replace the fittings on my cars, as then you don't have to fight with a plugged one.
 Hopefully the shims for the other side arrive tomorrow or Tuesday and I can get that one back together as well.

I think the coil on a 120B, which is currently installed on the engine block, is over heating and cutting out. Were there 120Bs where the coil was installed on the firewall? If so, does someone out there know where it was placed (a picture would be nice)?

Those seats are not going to fit in an envelope! LOL What happened to your seats that you need to get different ones? Upholstery is not my area of expertise by any stretch, but it may be by the time I'm done!
