Straight 8 (288)

Curious to if anyone ever tried to make a header for a Packard 8 ? Wonder if anyone ever manufactured them ? I suppose they would be a equal length tube .

Anyone going to Springfield swap on Memorial Day weekend this year ?

A few more comments to the post ,
A good farmer friend of mine has a 120hp international tractor that was bought new in 1972 always used conventional 15-40 oil , never even had the head off of it . Tractor shows over 14,000 hours on the meter.
My wife’s grandfather had a service station in the 50s and 60s in western North Carolina . He told me a conversation he had with the traveling salesman selling STP oil treatment . Basically he took the salesman and poured regular oil and STP in a pan , then took a torch and heated the two ..... the oil just basically bubbled and smoked turned black . The STP turned to a stringy goo that resembled taffy .... now evidently the salesman never stopped again . Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t STP synthetic ? Teflon?
Just like then and the same as today’s engines there is substantial amounts of heat from burning extremely clean and near zero emissions .

I’ll be interested in the front bumper , Shipping to 43146 orient ohio

That would look nice on my shop wall , I’ll gladly pay the shipping ...

I don’t know for sure that I trust any synthetic ... good old oil still stays liquid form under intense heat , I just gotta think synthetic can’t do that . Just my opinion

Thank you !

Well no there is no metal here , nor rubber .... more of a thick paper/cloth . Possibly a different part . I’ll post pics of what I have later .
