Vanes were stuck, T turn was stuck, probably to do with the vanes. Seems to be ok now. Somehow managed to put a quart of water in the tank. That was fun.
Went out today and seems fine. Just have to keep an eye on the sediment bowl.
Now to sort out charging.

I don't have a handle. Previous owner had a plain handle made, Don't know which door it goes in. Assume the drivers . PO has passed so I can't ask.

Any idea what the sediment bowl gasket replacement part number is?
Auto parts houses by me can't work from size, need application. Oh, sorry sir what is a Packard?
Got a load of water in the tank. Took the bowl off and gasket is in pieces.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have a locking door handle and key for an 826?

Thanks guys, bought point conversion kit. Turns out it is made less than 100 miles from where I live. Will put it in this weekend. Now I have a coolant leak somewhere.

Where can I get tuneup parts for my 1931 826? Looking for wires, plugs, condenser, dual points.

Well, I sent the carb to Jeff at The Old Carb Doctor. He found a couple issues and dealt with them. Got a gas tank from a member that was in very nice condition. Got it running today and is much better. No big clouds of black smoke. Is a tad boggy on acceleration but I will play with that. Thanks to all for their suggestions.

Does anyone know where I might find the paint code for the engine green and the dark blue for the body. It is almost black.
Off topic, how about a source of generator brush springs. This is a CD865 generator from I believe, a 29 Packard. Spring is normal coiled flat spring.
Thanks in advance, Fred.

If memory serves, the old tanks were tinned inside and out , then the outside was painted . There was a company that did milk cans here and they did tanks as well. They also did steel boat tanks as well. Good luck finding a guy to tin milk cans now.
I have to deal with the tank in my 826. just started leaking.

Does anyone make a lube oil filter that is a direct replacement?
