Does anyone know why the gears shift when the engine is not running but will not go into gear with the engine running? Car has not been moved in about three years. Pressure plate? Clutch? Any info will help.

Racing Packards of the 1930's???

Matt snape
Does anybody have information on Packard based racing cars of the mid to late 30's era. Specifically I am hoping to find out about single or two seater, open wheeled cars that may have run in road, circuit, speed or oval track events using the S8 engine. I am currently looking at taking on such a project and would appreciate any information or photos that you may have. Many thanks in advance. Matt.

Took a while, but here are some pics of the rockers.
The material weight seems up to packard standards, although not zinc plated. I think they are pretty good reproductions.

Another 3 hours on the one board with the 80 paper. The closer to the inside of the board the more orange peel there is. At the rate I'm going, instead of just losing my finger prints could go all the way to the elbow!

Eric,

Trouble is I'm learning as I go, not a good way to do it. But hopefully others will learn from all this.

John,

You're right, it's a much bigger job than I thought it would be, but what else am I going to do? As for the Bohman & Schwartz Limo, an impressive formal car in which my chauffeur would drive me to the opera while I sat in the back with top hat on, I'd suffer it!

Was the later, and similar, Delco Morrain unit any better? reading through this thread i see mention of the BTV being replaced later with a similar DM unit. Would one of these be an acceptible substitue? close enough in outside appearence, mounting location and leverage?
