Does anyone have photos of an original tire jack and tool roll (including what tools came in it) for what would have been with my 1946 Super Clipper?

I know I can get the actual canvas tool roll reproduction online from one of the packard clubs (can't remember which one at the moment) but haven't had any luck with finding what the original jack would have looked like or what tools were in the roll.

Thanks again for all your help and advice for this Packard Newbie!

What should it be putting out at the generator?

I recently purchased some 6V halogen headlights that fit my 46 Super Clipper from Octane Lighting on Amazon.com. They look great, but are VERY dim, maybe even dimmer than my sealed beams.

The car has a new wiring harness, so I'm pretty sure the electrical connections aren't the issue. I also have 6V LED lights in the tail lights only (was warned not to put too many LED's in without resistors).

I noticed when I did my first test drive last night that everything was very dim, even brights. Blinkers were VERY slow, like flip every 2-3 seconds, and the right front never would blink.

Is the generator not producing enough electricity to run the headlights at full strength? Would the same cause the blinker issue?

Thanks for the advice, guys!

I'm thinking about going to the Dodge City Joint Regions Packard Meet in Dodge City, KS on May 13-15, 2016.

I heard about the meet from my local group, but didn't get a registration packet. I didn't find much about it online, but I finally found one online from this publication:
http://midamericapackards.org/Resources/2016_02_Data_Plate.pdf

It looks like the rooms are $119/night.

Who is going? What should I expect? I'm new to Packards and their meets, so just shooting in the dark here.

Thanks,

Will someone post a photo of an installed kickdown switch for an R9 overdrive?

Don,

I'm interested in the kickdown switch. I'll send you a PM for details.

Thanks for the info!

Question: I realize that the R9A-1 is what I need. Is there a quick way to tell which O/D I have just by looking? Is there a model stamped on it? Something distinctive that would tell me without taking it apart?

Thanks again!

Hello! I'm new the Packard world, with a 1946 Super Clipper Touring. When I purchased the car, there was another Overdrive transmission with the car (the car didn't originally have o/d).

I guess my question to you fine folks is: Were the overdrives Borg Warner o/d's? In 1946 would it have been the R-9 or R-10? I have the book on the R-10 & R-11, but haven't found anything about the R-9. I want to put the overdrive transmission in the car to help with touring, but trying to gather some information first!

Thanks,
