Not sure which year was decided on in the other thread. Here is someone selling a chassis that appears to have power steering on it. Not sure if it is even any good or not.

Seems I can only put one PDF per post, even though they show to be plenty smaller than the allowed limit.

I'd probably go with a regular coil on it. Maybe even "upgrade" to a 12 volt system. John

Try the PDF and see if that works any better, if it does I'll redo the other pictures.

Okay, what you fellows think?? 1200 dollars. hasn't been run in 5 yrs. Says coil went bad. Says has all parts for the car that are missing in the picture.
Worth the asking price?? What thing should I be looking for as problem areas? Says trunk floor is solid, 2 small holes in floor pan. John Attach file: Size: 109.14 KB; Hits: 41

I was wondering, this really is a question for all Packard engines. Does the alcohol in the gas anymore cause vapor lock problems on these engines? Has anyone had trouble with corrosion problems?

Packard 6 engine?

I've read through some earlier posts on this engine (245 c.i.). Some asking about increasing the power ect....
I see in late 1946 or so that it was redesigned with bigger mains, better rods, and it even mentions increasing the valve sizes a bit. Compression was increased some. Yet there appeared to be no increase in power shown. It was still 105 hp. Even when they increased it from a 237 c.i. in 1937 to a 245 in 1938, it was still shown as 100hp for both engines.... Has there been any 'simple" things anyone has done to their 6 that made a noticeable difference? How much could one plane the cast iron head on these engines? Could I up it say 7.5 to 1? Would there be valve clearance enough? Three way valve seat job and maybe back cutting the angle on the underside of the valves? possible adapting a 2 brl carb on the intake? Studebaker had a 245 engine and managed 118 hp from it, K and F had a 226 and managed 118 hp from it. Seems to me there should be 120 hp to squeeze from this engine without getting to radical? John
