Just for what it is worth, a good many of the folks just maybe at Hershey. Be patient my friend. I know when I bought some needed items from Max Merritt, I heard JD calling his travel agent, something about a trip to Tahiti. LOL just kidding their stuff is really nice. I did get some pictures of a 1940-120 engine compartment though. It was for sale but I really do not need another Packard all torn apart.

All in all this has been the best Hershey in years, I did also pick up my door sills from Door Sills. Beautiful. $ 12 to park $8.00 for a sandwich. The place sure looks good considering the flood they just had.

Another busy day tomorrow.

Now to the story. I sent the clutch pressure plate & disc to Fort Wayne. I received a call from BArney telling me it was finished and how I wanted to pay. The yurn around was really fast jjust like they promised. After several days passed I called about my parts. Barney said they were sent and received. I told him I never got them. The street I live on is only 3 blocks long, 1 in the town I live in and two in another town with the same zipcode with no cross street between them. So after a little detective work, and getting very little assistance from the USPS except to reporting it to the supervisor of my area. I located the parts on the porch at the end of the second block. The difference being 1101 for me and delivered to 1001. I called Barney and told him to hold off building a replacement because I located the original. I also explained to him that when the zipcode is typed in to the computer generated labels it changes the name of the town to the larger city. My town shares many zip codes with other areas & towns. However The name on the label was correct as well as the address and the zip plus 4 was correct. The folks at 1001 never even knew it was there as they do not use the front entrance. All ended well and I gave the supervisor an ear full about the delivery person not being able to read or even identify the correct address & zipcode. I am pleased with the service and response from Ft. Wayne, their service was quick and their response to the problem was great offering a replacement. I would highly recommed them because of this experience. I will attach pictures and everyone can see their workmanship & quality.

However what I would like to ask if anybody has a picture of an original distributor holding clamp and also of the placment on the block as to rotation location.

Thanks Fred D

It seems as if most of the pictures are oversize to download. I have about 20 and will have to work to get them to fit. Any ideas anybody??

Hello all my wife and I just got back from dinner at Patricks. downtown, Excellent crab cakes. The rain has stopped and there are a few Packards in the lot of the Hampton Inn. Our room is fantastic, I look out of my window and can see the whole show field. Am going to hit the pool & hot tub. Hope tomorrow is a great day.
