If you want a 22nd series Super 8, I can help you with that.
PM me for more info.

damn i wish i had more fun money! that would be sweet to drive to work!

That was me that suggested it might be a chain slip.
This was common on Chrysler's and Chevy small blocks.
The complaint was -" it's been running great , it just would start this morning "

The chain would stretch just enough to ride high on the gear. Compression would still be in range,but cam timing is to re-tarded.

You do have some internal wear to deal with , I think it should run.

Has anyone suggested trying a 12 volt jump ?

know what you mean...if you dont filter filter filter.. you get the morons..like Antenna for your packard...listed it seems 200 times

yeah last night I had Turboman in Witchita on the cell and we were changing the plugs wires on the distributor forwards and backwards and then moving distri by hand slightly while cranking. At one point it did seem to want to kick but that was it.

waiting for Owne Dyn for his opinion on the oil results
but tentatively, he is agreeing with you based on the figures, that the engine should start with tweeking of distributor..now that he knows that fuel is entering the engine. the first set of numbers indicate there is a leak head gasket leak around 2,3,4..I suppose if the gasket were replaced, then # 3 which now reads 30 would perhaps come up to the level of the rest in the 60's and 70's.

Evidently you also agree that even with those numbers, the engine should kick in...

Yes I must agree with Owen d when he says that with valve issues, it is slower to start, which has been true over the years.

In earlier posts some one indicated that perhaps the valve timing was off due to a chain cog. Im right now reading on how to check the timing, according to the Packard owners manual WITHOUT removing he front end. The manual says ' a quick and easy method for checking on a slipped timing chain" ooooo I love those words 'quick and easy' lolo

I just realized that
OWEN
has been strangely silent on this thread.

Not a 'spark' out of Owen_Dyneto!

????????????????????

Eric,
I am not sure where you go to get clip art and photos, but PLEASE take a body guard with you next time.

Steve,
I like your reminder of our human nature Quote:

I guess I would just like to be
'stock Packard cool!'

Randy, Yes, it is behavior that makes us all want to retaliate and escalate.


However, in my calmer moments, I doubt that
MORON PROLIFERATION
is the best answer.

We already got enough
MORONS
without becoming morons ourselves.

Again, Thanks Eric for adding to our sane alternatives.

I-RON-ically,
DanL
