The fiberglass blanket fell off the hood and onto the engine. It is not reusable. Are these worth replacing? I can understand they would insulate the hood thermally, but do they deaden the engine noise? I do seem to hear more engine noise than I remember previously.

What is used to replace them?

Thanks,

Loyd -
Is the evaporator under the dash? Can you open the glove box fully? I have a Vintage Air unit and it is a difficult fit.

Please relieve my ignorance - what and where is the "Owner Registry"?

Computers can be frustrating! I just spent 30 minutes putting thoughts to keyboard regarding all of the above, and it vanished! Tomorrow I'll try again. Too late and too tired now.

Jack -

Is the 200R4 an overdrive transmission too? Are the overdrive ratios the same as the 700R4? vAnd do you have a kit or how would the installation be made?

Re: Jacobs vs MSD ignition systems. Look on eBay. I bought a couple of MSD 6 units that I haven't yet installed. The price was definitely right.

P.S.

I'm glad to hear that Pertronix and multi spark units work together.

Dave -
You mentioned a sign "North Hills Packard" that you would have. Is that the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA? I live in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, am a member of PI, but, with one exception, have no contact with other Packard owners in the area.

If knock in your high compression eight is a problem, install a water injector. The ones available 50 years ago are still on eBay. The new ones are expensive, the old one are not.

I'm not seeing any Cavalier - just a stainless Lincoln and TBird. How do I bring up the Packard?

How about 1955? I haven't looked, but are the solenoids also mounted under the fender? If converted to 12V negative ground, would these work on the 1955 model?
