toooo late... my spine is like a corksrew, my fingers are bleeding and the arms look like as if there had been an intense discussion with a wildcat...

remove the glove box alone doesn?t work (heater control thermostat is clipped on the underside)
you have to remove the center channel for the feat heating and the cable for the right air duct... the wire for the blower is simple to disconnect

my next packard will be ordered without radio and heater

now the chrome bezel is dangling on the wires of the center lamp (push firmly?) and the cigar-lighter

Hi there,

in my thread "my golden anniversary" a had some advice, that it would be rather difficult to remove the instrument cluster and the switchboard... but I realy have to do that thing to integrate a hazard warning, front parking light modification and same wiring repair.

Instrument cluster is loose (only 4 screws and the one nut of the flasher relais) but won?t come out because of the stiff wiring loom on the top of it. It seems to be usefull but impossible to lower the steering collumn. any other ideas?

Heater controll is dangling loose, radio has fallen inside the dash after removing 3 nuts... but it won?t get out, it is stuck on the heater channel and not clearly visible wich wires have to come of... will it help to remove the glove box?

I don?t want to destroy my entire car to get accses to the headlight switch and some connecting points

aaaah! "heel" was my missing word... should have known... high-heels are even known in germany.. this forum does not only improve my Packard-knowlege, it improves my english (hopefully)

it wasn?t laid on the floor, it was made to slide over the gas pedal. This should avoid that you damage the floor with your shoe (second pic, a pampered 56.000 miles showcar with this problem)

thank you! 1,25... I would pay that for shure... ok, the worth of the money has changed a litle... but I would pay the 20,- in todays money too... perhaps future will find a way with 3D-printing

I hope this is not highjacking a thread, but in my 49 was a floor mat protection, wich I wonder if this is original and available new... I consider it very nice but sadly it is old and cracking... no longer usable. is there a reproduction on the market?

these numbers only mention the viscosity, the higher the thicker

SAE 90 is standard on mostly all cars up to the 1980ies

like on engine oils in our days they tend to use multi-purpose oils. The first number shows the viscosity when cold, the second when hot, compared to a single purpose oil.

85W 140 is a bit thinner than SAE 90 when cold (like SAE 85) you won?t recognize any difference, but much thicker (like SAE 140) when warmed up. This might cure a wining worn out transmission, but perhaps might cause a harder shifting, if the trans is like new without any wear... just test it

I do have good expieriance with products of that company

with an oil filter there will be no problem using modern oils (perhaps with some seals, but nobody knows)

my 49 does not have an oilfilter
