I took the teflon tape off, so it should be grounded good. The sender is the one for a gauge not a idiot light. I'm going to check the wiring from the Ignion resitor to the gauge(although the water temp gauge is working and the fuel gauge is working. I guess I'll keep digging!

Hello, I'm into my 4th oil presure gauge switch. I ground the wire and the dash gauge reads. How ever I have problems having one work for any period of time. The first one didnt work at all, the second one worked briefly(i found a broken wire tremial. I put on a new wire end with a nut( I suspect I turned the nut too hard and it started to spin) this time I bought a new one on and I changed to a push on treminal and all I got was a pulse and then nothing. I'm at my wits end. Plerase advise!

Does anyone have any tip on how to paint the red letters on the valve cover? I have tried a couple of methods and have no luck!

I'm doing some paint detailing under the hood of my brothers 56 Packard 400, according to the Packard club documentation it calls for the valve covers to be silver with red lettering. How ever mine are black. It has the old type spark plug wire holders. So I think it is a late production car. I'm thinking it might look better if I painted them black with silver lettering. I'm not sure what color to do? Any Thoughts/advice!

Yea, My plan is to change the oil,filter and put a quart of the Marvel Mystry oil in again and then drive it for a while and change the oil again. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Re: 56 Packard 400 water temp sending unit

I finnaly found a sending unit that worked (TS6464). After I got that working I went to test the gas gauge. I tested the wire and it was ok. I then grounded the dash gauge and it worked, so I then dropped the tank and I found out the wire at the sending unit was broken. I fixed the the wire end and then the gauge worked great. I now have the the gauges working and now can drive the car more. Thank you all for the help
