Hello,
Just wondering if someone can help me understand the part numbers for the brake light bulbs, indicator bulbs (1158?), license plate light bulb, and optional reverse light bulb, on a 1949 22nd series deluxe 2262-9 sedan. I've been scrolling through the parts numbers and information but don't understand what I'm looking at. Tried searching but only found the 1158 one specifically identified. Thank you! Evan

In my case, also a 30 year revival, I thought everything was clean and set after the various rebuilds carb/pump/tank etc... but when the pump stopped pumping as noticed by no successful start and a bubbling surging fuel level in the glass fuel filter it turns out there was some grit left in the tank by whatever was used to clear out the rust and 30 year old gas varnish. Though it was a tiny amount, it was enough to clog the pump valves apparently. I'll give credit to Then and Now Automotive in Weymouth, MA who re-did their re-build of the pump for no additional cost even though a non-associated radiator shop I found did the tank clean out. No problems since... well with the pump and tank at least!
Also... on the '50 Clipper note, according to Massachusetts and my title I have a '49 Clipper (even though that's not an actual model) because that is how it was registered and titled for the previous owner in 1979 (and whenever he bought it prior to that in the 50s). I'm guessing that when Clippers were new in the 50s, someone just put that erroneously on the title during the first re-sale. Re-titling, registration, and just about everything in the process, even for antique cars, is an unnecessary pain here in MA, so I just left everything the same to not cause more headache.

Nice catch! Yes that is the slip in there and it is legible and I was able to decipher the code with help, attached a picture. I haven't checked for the glove box one yet, maybe I'll do that tomorrow/Wednesday when I try starting (if I can get the right size fuel pump inlet hose, the one I was sent is small on male side big on female side).

Don't know if you sorted the sending unit or not yet. I pulled the tank off my 49 and the sender off. It was pretty crusty and the arm was pretty well stuck in place from sitting for years, brass float was toast with the whole bottom half gone. I cleaned the whole thing up, and pulled it apart (see pictures). It actually looked good inside, which was what I had read about these senders in general on ford group sites (they look like hell outside but might stay sealed where it counts). So... if it still operates with the right signal output range, you can very cheaply buy a new brass float from Dennis Carpenter here (http://dennis-carpenter.com/fuel-tank-float/p/68-9275-f/) which was almost exact to the one on there. The stuck arm, after trying several cleaners, came almost immediately loose and developed free travel with a shot of brake parts cleaner. Then it's just a gasket and maybe some new mounting screws and you're set. Of course if it's not outputting the right signal then it might need to go out unless you're good with electrical engineering.

Once I add it to the registry can I update the info as I move along? I'm looking to uncover more info about the interior codes etc... Also I anticipate any day now my repair and restoration skills will bring this from non-running fair condition all the way up to full concourse winner ;)

Great info! Thanks a ton for the help, I'll have to check out the condition of my rubber if it exists and then check out those sources for replacement.

New Owner 1949 Deluxe 2262-9

Hello All,
Thought I'd do a quick intro and post some pictures of my Packard. I'm the new owner of a black 49 Deluxe 8, 2262-9, with 52,000 miles. From what I know of it, it was from the New Bedford, MA area and seemed to belong to a Packard collector involved in owners clubs and events. Sometime more recently the owner's estate went to his son, then was sold off a few years ago to the guy I bought it from. He also claimed there were some real top-dollar Packard models in the collection when they went to buy this car. My goal is to get it basically running to confirm no major low end or catastrophic engine failure occurs, then make it roadworthy by refocusing on brakes and a typical safe rolling/regular use project process. Last time it ran was 1980, but the engine rotates freely and has been soaking in MMO. Yesterday I dropped the pan and everything looks pretty good, now I just have to get it clean, back on, and re-install the gas tank. With the other projects I've done so far, should be ready for a first crank soon! Got to beat the approaching winter! It's been in dry storage most of the car's life and has no structural rust at all from what I've found, which was the factor that led me to buying since everything else in my bargain price range seemed to have the New England Salt-belt open floor and trunk pan feature/fully ventilated rocker panels. Also, another big plus for me was that it lacks the typical NE bargain-find feature where its cave-aged in a garage with grass-fed, free-range mice who are specifically trained to access different interior and wiring components. Random facts include having a Marvel Inverse Oiler #200625 installed 6/22/1951 and a penciled notation in the owner's manual saying car was "overhauled" at 38,579 in May of 1952 (which I assume is when the engine components happened). Now that it's been raining I can also confirm that it doesn't have internal leaks! I love the car and can't wait to get mine to a point where I can drive it! ~Evan

Thanks for the quick reply! Very interesting... I'll make sure that's sealed up then once I get the battery in.
Thanks again!
