Hello
I ended up buying a " Deka" battery they are made in USA I bought the "Deka" No. 664MF 620 CCA 11.5 x 6 3\8 x 8" Weight 41.5000 Lb Here in Cal the cost was $101.xx $15 core return I bought it at a Deka warehouse in Ontario Cal I had called a company called Battery plus bulbs who carry Duracell they would not order me a group 60 battery, even though there web page not only showed one but also priced it.. BTW Deka make some of the Duracell line of car batteries. So you can guess that I will not be shopping at or recommending "Batteries plus" to anyone. Now an another subject can anyone give me a "place" to buy intake manifold gasket for the 374. And does anyone have specific info on removing the tail light housing from the car? Even for Packard I would think it stupid to have to move the rear bumper to get the housing out. Also need lead on getting the small front fender script (the four hundred) best Dave

have not decided on who to buy a kit from... It's one of those
items you hope you don't "need" to buy a second time soon. I'm sure the 4GC kits from the other sellers are good.. I just want to know what parts are in the kit... I have faith in my old filters,, If I'm wrong... oh well

thanks all. got if all worked out now... no tag on the Carb
but there is a small stamping So just need to bleed the brakes and my 56 is back on the road.. I did a lot of reading on the 4GC today, checked out all the rebuild kits... prices range from $48 to $75.. I remember a couple years ago I checked with NAPA about a rebuild kit, price was $35, Today I looked I could not find a listing for a rebuild kit... I'll check with Dave tomorrow at NAPA and see... Need to tighten up the gear selector little sloppy Will need new exhaust Going to feel great to have her back on the road... and I found my case of Purolator oil filters... I bought those way back in the late 80's for $2.00 each... Thanks again all

Thanks guys, you just saved me time looking all over the net
none of my local auto parts store even list a Packard any longer... NaPa does carry a rebuild kit for the Rochester Carb... I was going replace the hoses to the PS, but then remembered I'm going to try and install a hydo boost unit.. so the I'll wait until I get it installed.. I hope Thanks again guys.. Best BTY, My car is a 56 400.. and the PS filter was original and does not look bad at all.. it is not collapsed, shows no signs of any damage... I think I should apologize for asking these questions, I just got lazy.. I have an original Packard Service Manual for the 55\56 Senior I also have printed out a list of parts that Craig had put our from his Panther project... Thanks Craig This morning I got my manual out and went through it and found the info I was looking for... I had taken the manual apart years ago to scan into my computer so, it would always be easy to find info.. anyway Thanks to everyone who had input. Best

OK, after my fight over a new Battery, I'm beat. So I'm asking
if any of you can provide me with the numbers for upper and lower radiator hoses, power steering belt, generator belt and a filter for the power steering unit... I can not find a make on the unit, I think when I rebuilt the slave cylinder that it was a monroe unit... I checked Goodyear gator back V-belts they did not have any belts listed.. Thanks Best
