Yeah, I came across their site last year. I’ve tried reaching out several times, but haven’t been able to reach anyone or get a response. I have them on my list to try again.

Hello guys,

I removed the head from my 359 i had to get in there i suspected a hydraulic lifter fr ticking when hot. I did a compression test and after that a leakdown because a low compression on cilinder 3 with a leaking exhaust valve. And had a thougt that the car could have a leaking head gasket. So after a very hard time getting the aluminium head loose it was corroded solid on the studs... I got it off and now want to start checking valves and lap them a bit and get the lifters replaced and all the good stuff. I checked but there must be set a clearance between a lifter tool and stem of the valve. But i cant find this tool anywhere.
Can someone help me get a packard j4540 tool or know exact dimmensions or a way to get the gap right?

That is a Trico assembly with wire ropes embedded in the drive and all pressed together as a unit when built at Trico. Some have tried taking them apart for rechroming or repair and it seems not many have met with success in being able to put them back together properly and still work. I realize being overseas makes it more difficult but unfortunately most need to find another one in better condition if repair or rechroming is needed.

Before trying to take that piece apart have you verified that a cable has not slipped off of a pulley groove on the tensioner and is caught behind the pulley and now binding. Too much tension on the wire ropes is also a cause for hard movement.

There is a bit on servicing the wipers in the instrument section of 55-6 service manual.

Hello there, I have been unable to log into Packard info for several weeks but was successful today. I have at least 3 complete front-end suspensions for 1937 120C cars. I will take some pics this afternoon and post then this eve. I am located just South of Huntsville Al.

1936 and 1937 120's Are what we like best. But we also like all other Packards too.

Yep...all new rubber will be done. There are two items that I can't source due to my car being the 138CD instead of the 120.

1) rear wing window rubber - my windows are substantially longer than the 120. I'm investigating if I can utilize two sets of the 120 seals from Steele and join them to make one set.

2) running board mats - there just aren't enough of the 138s out there for justify the cost to any on the vendors to produce them.

I have a '47 Custom Super parts car near Scottsville, KY. It has 4 or 5 rims (if there's a spare) plus the hubs on it, none of which I intend to use. I also have a bodiless frame parked next to it with the same stuff on it. If you're ever out that way,I can get you connected with the landlady to collect that stuff - some disassembly required. I'm in VA for the foreseeable.

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

Don,

After replacing all wind wing gears, replace the windwing rubber (steele) as that last inch of closing with old hard rubber provides so much resistance it can overstress/break even your new non-potmetal teeth.

Word of caution to the wise.

If you cant source a special shape gasket, dont use Armorall as it is a look-good bandaid that doesnt rejuvenate the rubber; it is a good topical to preserve fresh rubber.

Try Aero Cosmetics Rubber Care...this actually penetrates and reconditions the outer layer of a rubber item and is used on aircraft cockpit seals, etc

Hi -
Thanks for the torque arms. I was able to finesse it all apart.
Would you happen to have spindles available or know of someone who might?
Thanks!
Don
