Hi Howard. Just a heads up. All worked out well. No more oil leak. Thoughts on my Auburn style dash panel for 1954 Senior Packard's?

Thank you Howard. Great info on the bracket issue. Regarding the engine oil sending unit, I received a new adapter and new unit/switch. The new switch does not screw all the way into the adapter. The old switch does appear to screw all the way in the original adapter though. The issue appears to be common on the internet for modern cars. (TAPERED) 1/8th NPT vs BSPT vs straight thread adapter. Is it ok to screw in just to as far as it goes with teflon tape or is it necessary that the switch screws all the way into the adapter?

Very good question regarding the air cleaner.The purpose could be said (logically) to get cooler air from the front of the engine.....but the plenum looked kind of like the McCulloch supercharger in the 1954 Packard Panther so I gave it a shot...love it or hate it...there is significant vibration though that did separate the filter from the tube so I removed it...the clamp doesn't hold well...the weight distribution is questionable with the plenum heavier than the filter (no support) but it seems ok...It has a Joe's Racing 8 inch 1/4-20 air cleaner stud...but once I put the Holley air cleaner gasket on, everything slid back and forth due to the vibration...correct assumption the carb pot metal might not hold up...I removed everything and put the O'Brien Truckers air cleaner back on...it has their Carter WCFB adapter to 5 1/8 carb air horn/flange/neck and fits nicely.
