Thanks again, but now the gauge is the least of my problems. The part of the windshield frame that pivots the windshield has broken and it is apparently pot metal so can't be fixed. How in heck am I going to deal with this.
Roadster for sale perhaps?

Thank you for the info, What does "PM me an address" mean? I'm not too smart computer-wise.

Does anyone have a diagramm on how to remove a hydrostatic gas gauge from the dash? I've been under the dash but can't find any sign of what holds it in. It was disconnected by a former owner. There is no sign of any tubing. The front looks complete.

Paul, I tried to get a hold of you but phone # is somehow screwed up. Call me at 518- 674-3055

Thanks folks, Paul, I'm out of town for this week and I'll call you when I get back.

Thank you. A dipstick would have been so much simpler it seems to me. Oh well, what is,is.

I'm wishing my engine had a good old fashioned dipstick but it doesn't, so I'm asking if the glass dial type that I do have is a reliable indicator of the oil level. Did they return to dipstick after 31?

I have a tube trom Coker, Thanks Coker and thanks for the suggestions from our rsponders. Great site and great people. Dave

Thank you for your inputs, that clears that up.

New to Packards and have some questions as to ryhme or reason: Why do some 1930/31s have fender lights, driving lights, side mounts, wire/solid wheels and frame work around the wind wings and others don't? Would it be customer preferences or a deluxe/standard issue? Inquireing minds want to know.
