Dave,
A coil is something I tend to not see or think about. They don't need servicing, adjusting, or lubricating. They don't move, make noise or need fluid level checks. They are rather central however to ignition, start-up, and combustion. All of which are required for operation of the vehicle. Glad you shared the experience. Makes us all more aware. DanL

Mal, I Just got a call from "Peeps" today as he was trying to track down history of his 48 Limo. A Packard Dealership here in Sioux Falls may have sold the car.
So far Peeps has the 2011 record for "Most Packards registered on PInfo in ONE Day." DanL

Jim is quite an 'authenticity' buff. Sounds like his 12v a/c clutch is a temporary fix in his mind.
He literally wrote the book on 1940 Packards. [PACKARD 1940: a pivotal year] I really enjoy his stories on this era of Packards. See the Bookshelf:http://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/BookShelf/ I was on the team that judged Jim Hollingsworth's 1941 Clipper at the Branson Meet in 2009. http://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=5523&cid=45 DanL

More consensus here.
About 14-15 mpg for my 41 Clipper at about 50-55 mph on highway. DanL

Thanks for photos and discussion. I have been to PAC in 2008 and 2009 at Des Moines and Branson, MO respectively. This year I chose the Cadillac-LaSalle Grand Nat'l in Kansas City last week for my splurge.
Quote: The 2011 PAC National Meet will be in Galena, IL during July. The 2012 National Meet will be in Williamsburg, PA during September (!) Thanks ECAnthony for this info. I will definitely put Galena, IL on my 2011 calendar. Keep those pictures coming.

I also use a black handled one that actually comes apart so that the cable is removed from the post. It is heavy enough to work well with 6 Volt systems.
The only issue I had was needing to put some insulating tape on the battery hold-down frame near the shut off switch. Occasionally, as I would take it off, it would drop down before it was fully disconnected and spark. Insulation and holding it up carefully until fully disconnected solved that problem. DanL

My Hemmings came earlier in the week, but I didn't see page 22 in my first thumb through. The 'logo' on the website alerted me to the article.
Nicely written. Very balanced and complimentary. I found it 'descriptive' of the Clubs without being critical. Actually, I think people will find it informative and positive. Kev - I think you are unduly modest in your response to being credited with being the driving force behind the website. I appreciate all the ambassadors, members and people who respond, monitor, research, post, donate, welcome and banter with posters. BUT without your central vision, tech-know-how, front money, hall-monitoring, etc. ... it would not be here in cyber-Packard-space. You are the ENGINE, CHASSIS, and DRIVE TRAIN. It would not move with out you. You da' MAN, 'Big Kev' DanL
