The clearance on a pumped-up hydraulic lifter is 0. You should not be able to insert a feeler gauge.

I think you'll find that these instructions apply to a more modern hydraulic tappet. I don't think they apply to those found in a Packard 356.

Here's a blurry photo of a collapsed lifter in my 356 (far right). The engine was running at 500 RPM. The excessive oil flow is pretty obvious.

Yes, the 356 engine has hydraulic lifters. I had one collapsed lifter in my '49 [23rd Series] Custom. You can see the filthy oil gushing from the collapsed lifter in the photo. Made a heck of a racket. It has since been replaced, the missing oil canister replaced, and the gunk cleaned out of the sump. The oil is now a golden amber and the engine is very quiet.

Doesn't look like anything I've seen on 22nd or 23rd Series Packards (1948-1950).

I believe the fit is the same, but the 22nd Series has trim that the 23rd Series doesn't.

You might want to specify your model; it makes a difference with the length of the front fender trim. Super and Super Deluxe are 7 inches longer than the Standard Eight and Deluxe Eight.

The wage for a pipefitter at GM in 1939 was $44.00 assuming a 40 hour week. So, it would appear that this would be a weekly paycheck and in line with other auto manufacturers of the time.

Yup. Social Security 1% of pay in 1939.

The only factory trunk floor covering that I'm absolutely certain about is for the 1949 23rd Series Custom. It's a thin die-cut rubber mat with hogshair-like fibers affixed to the surface. The fibers were a multi-shaded brown.
