I will get some pics and dimensions for the Super Eight wheels later today, but do not have any Twelve wheels left. They are different.

What prompts your question? Are you looking for one or the other?

Thanks for the idea.
Throw out bearing port is fine. I had just filled the transmission, and started testing the Bijur. Pulled the handle three times and went for a ride.
When I got home, oil started pouring out of the bell housing.
The next day I saw a puddle of oil under the car. My first thought was that the transmission seal was bad, but was very relieved when I checked the level...so I guess the throw out bearing was flooded.

Our recently acquired 1927 Six Convertible Coupe had not been used much since 1971. We are gradually going through all the systems to get it tour ready. I put a 10-30 oil in the container and pulled the handle but I could only see evidence of oil coming out at the front left spring.
Anxious to hear what methods owners have used to clear the lines.

We are contemplating installing battery disconnects on our Third and Fifth Series cars. One option is inside the frame near the battery. I have one friend who has installed a switch for a later model inside... under the instrument panel...with the rationale that if you are driving and smell smoke, you don't want to have to stop, run around the car,, open the hood to disconnect the battery.

We would like to hear what other owners have done...

I just saw a replay of the infamous Access Hollywood tape.
I thought I saw an interesting car in the background, so when they played the tape a second time I got a snap.
Is that REALLY a 20s Packard in the background?????

I have an NOS glass which I believe is for the 1951,52 windshield. Etched in the corner is this logo:
I cannot find ANY Packard part number on the paper or the glass.

Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks for looking.

Here's the bottom of one of my spare units. Yours probably looks very similar.
The two needles have to move freely.
Be careful with the springs, they are fragile.

There is a Packard owner in Texas who restores these Stewart Vacuum units if you need a professional restoration.

Ooops...I had earlier mis-stated my problem...

Because the valves were not working properly, the vacuum was sucking the gas directly into the manifold...NOT into the carb....thereby bypassing the carb and flooding the engine.

I opened the vacuum tank...the 8 screws and the mechanism lifts out. Tomorrow I will get a couple pics.
There is a lever, two springs, and two needle valves.

Here's a pic of our '27. It was restored '63-65 and pretty much in hibernation since '71.
