not sure if this will help you as my starter is autolite

I had a similar issue when doing mine. when assembling it I couldn't get it to seat tight. so I took a piece of hardwood, drilled a 15/16" hole 3 " deep, cut out the top portion, place a hardened washer on top, this had a portion of it cut out to fit around the copper pipe. then I place a 3/4" socket on top and with a clamp pulled it snug before bending the tabs down. seemed to work, hopefully the photos attached

Glad to hear you(&your Packard😁)are safe. Been a tough time in BC the last while, what with all the wildfires and now the flooding.
Continue to be safe

Thanks Owen_Dyneto. I will eventually reach out to them, just thought I would toss the request out to the forum first. In the hopes someone had 1 laying around.

need 1 motor mount for 352 engine. found 1 NOS, anyone got another?

Hi Riki
How did your vent window fix work out?
What type of epoxy glue? did you use

Thanks HH56 , I will search Riki blog
& Ross, thanks so much for your advice & for your input

Now that I know the transmission and other system works, it was time to pull everything out for rebuilding. Found a somewhat local engine builder that has worked on the Packard V8's before, and a 70 year old transmission builder to put a kit in the Twin Ultramatic. I removed 12 lbs. of dirt, gravel and oil from the transmission. Any tips or suggestions/cautions I should pass on to these gentlemen? Both will be getting copies of the relevant service manual section.

The pressure switch on the Ultramatic? is there a test that can be performed to check if it works? The wires from the switch were previously tied together and bypassed the pressure switch. Or just look for a replacement?(here's hoping there out there)

Also does anyone perhaps have a fix for the vent window bracket? both sides have large cracks. also on the drivers side the window channel has become detached from the frame. this photo is of one I dismantled. can it be screws or riveted? Or will they interfer?

Thanks so much Ross, I did get it out. 3/4” fit snugl
It was very tight and the aluminum collar
Became slightly deformed during removal

Morning all
Can anyone tell me or show me how to remove the speedometer cable from the rear of the twin ultramatic transmission? I cannot find anything in the service manual

Thanks
