After the visit today I tried to recall what I could of the conversation I had with the first guy that began restoring the car.

I am fairly sure he said I had to grind the crank to fit the bearings I could find.

Ahmedabad 40 Packard
#27

There is a car museum in Ahmedabad I am going to try to make on my next trip.

Interesting story on his 40 Packard. It was the family car and with the war coming on the British governor wanted to impress it as his car.

The mother (all for the bloody English getting the heck out of India) hid it in amongst cotton bales in a shipment to Baroda. Baroda (now two hours drive south) was a Princely state and somewhat out of the reach of the British governor.

It's still in the family and joined with 100 or so other cars in this guy's museum.

I'll try to get some pictures.

Yes There WAS a loud noise.

When I was interested in the car and Annet asked how big it was (and we all know how big these things are comparitively), I told her it was a Junior model. Of course, eventually she saw it, but it has been called "Junior" since then.

Well yes and no. I understand that is how it is to work, but nothing is happening. What number connection on the solenoid do I hot wire to engage the R9 solenoid directly?
