Updated again, this a completely new update. I apparently maxed-out ebay's limit on how many people you can filter:

Re: synthetic oil in packard v8

If the engine's been rebuilt I'd have no issue with using synthetic oil, but I'd be sure to add some ZDDP additive to it.

I wouldn't use synthetic on an engine that hasn't been rebuilt though, as you usually end up with more leaks than you can count. But, if the engine's fresh then I'd highly recommend it. I'm sure there will be others with differing opinions, but plain and simply synthetic oil will last longer and make the engine last longer as well.

Yeah, that's the stuff. It can be undone and redone, if done not too long after you do it. I haven't tried to undo mine as of late because I have it where I want it. And I wouldn't say that it isn't stiff, it's kinda stiff, but I also am using heavier wire than was originally used on my car. Mainly because I don't like to have to do things twice.

Re: Windshield Washer

The nozzles will be on the windshield wiper stands, and should be pretty obvious. You can also look under the dash to see if there's a small tube coming out of the bottom of the stands, which may or may not have rubber hoses connecting the pump and the tank to the washers. This is of course implying that all the other stuff is missing. If it's complete, there should be some sort of cannister to put the washer fluid in, as well as either a vacuum motor or a foot operated pump to wash the windshield with.

No problem. I've found that if you get someone else who helps you and orders the part for you it's rather helpful to inform the guy who wouldn't do it for you "that's how parts guy's are supposed to be".

I've had a lot of customers tell people I've worked with that exact same thing.

Look for little nozzles on the windshield stands and the antenna should be on the driver's side fender, and you should see a vacuum line running to it.

On my way home from work, I stopped by O'Reillys. I asked about the harness tape and the manager told me that even if I got the part number, that is not something they carry and they would not order it since it was not a "part". So, thanks anyway for your offer Turbopackman, but it looks like I'm stuck ordering it online.


Your parts guy sounds like a prick, my local Oreilly's has no issue on ordering anything from their catalogs, as their main warehouses stock the stuff. When I was a parts guy we would do whatever it took to make the customer happy, within reason of course. The part number is a Dorman 85274, 1"X10', $6.99 at my local Oreilly's. Tell the lazy ba$tard it's their house brand and to get off his arse and order it for you! Might need two or three of them, as 10' of tape translates into about 3' of wire coverage.

Well, as long as people are doing that to Cadillacs and not Packards I'm ok with it.
