Sometimes a picture helps. If only 1 1/2 turn, something in engine is probably damaged or maybe some valves rusted and stuck. Will it go back the other way?

Owen, I believe that it was your posting of the two rebodied Packards that got my idle mind to thinking about the Packard-Renault. Just another example of how this website is valuable for the exchange of information. We are fortunate to have it available to us. Thanks BigKev and to all who contribute. Happy New Year!

Jacques, we may have a language problem communicating so please be patient with me. How many pedals are there?
Normally in an ultramatic car there are ony two pedals, one on the right for gas and the pedal to the left of that for brakes.

Dear Sir,
I'm French, and I think to got a PACKARD super height deluxe years 1950.
When I wanted to make certain the engine wasn't blocked by turning the crank-shaft manually with a tool without plugs, after have made one and a half tour, the engine has blocked. It is a ultramatic drive and it was on ? N ? position, and there is no battery.
Would you please explain me what is the problem with this car ? And what is the fonction of the left pedal ?
I thank you very much for your answer.
Cordially.
Jacques THEISSE

The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that an air bag would last longer and be easier to install. The constant jarring from road irregularities would beat the seals out of the cylinder in nothing flat. An airbag would take a lot more pounding than a hydraulic cylinder and still do what you want, and be cheaper too.

For this to work, you'd have to have a short, fat, (IE large diameter) hydraulic cylinder to support the weight. Something like a "pancake" type of cylinder. Pressure to operate it could be diverted from the p/s pump, should be enough pressure to do the job and keep the extra plumbing to a minimum. A small cylinder from a portapower would probably work, hook up a couple of electro-hydraulic switches and you can have it freely drain to lower, and pressure fill to lift.

On a side thought, I would have a "cup" welded into the bottom of the lower control arm to allow the car to go lower. Oh, and put the electro-hydraulic switch on the inlet side of the hose, so if the hose breaks, you don't lose all your p/s fluid, and can still limp home.
