Did packard change the window regulator washers from leather to rubber?. Or did the 55 use rubber..which is better. I would think leather would slide better.

Oil sender. I had same thing happen. My theory is the napa sending unit can't handle the heat. Box said transistorized. Bought another new one. But moved it. This works better. But the book does say pressure relief valve can cause it.

Also the napa has a small hole. The packard sender is hole is large. The packard must work the the gas sending unit.

That's my 2k.

That's good to know dave. I have an interstate but they don't have it.

group 29 fits, to use top bracket, you need to remove ridge around top, or get a beat up top bracket, and modify it,

if you take the silencer apart be care full, that little clip ,,don't try to pry it off like E clip, walk it up shaft, then give it a little squeeze, and slide it down shaft,

I lost one already,,they are tiny,,,

edit,,walk it down shaft

edit,

it's possible the tip on the bottom of silencer broke, I have some that look broke,

cause that works off roller arm

I am just getting into my dads 12 ,

have silencers apart, they went thru fire, were rusted, but the springs still feel robust,

I did buy new springs many years ago, A guy in st. louis had them, there was an ad in PI,

I was back there one year and bought the heavier spring from him too..

all of this will be in my 56 ultra blog, I do have a question on top part with holes in it, does it fit tight or loose..?.. once I got them apart, some fit tight, others loose, as in slips in and out..

No leaks with my orginal tank and i fill it all the way up the neck. I have locking gas cap. Which has a thick rubber gasket.

with that price rent a simi,,, then pick up some coors in Denver,,,and we will call you snowman!,,,got your ears on!

little early,


but I have around 100 miles on my one piece shaft, no pressure problems,

Had the dist out and in, no problems,

I think a needle thrust washer on bottom of drive gear would be better, so it doesn't wear into plate.

This is a jack vines pump, with my mods..

need info,

have play in steering wheel, what controls that?, I did turn the screw on top many years ago, I know there are shims, do I need to take them out?, or add somewhere else,

thanks,

re ultra, Gerry pac sw drove 400 last night, just around the block, see if he responds, it was late, so next time longer trip,

but I need to deal with play,,,to much over correcting,

thanks, a mil.....
