OK, not really a Packard topic, but
My mine has been thinking of this, and I have found no answer or anyone who could answer this, so I'll give you guys a chance. In todays new cards, they have coil near plug and coil on plug (Ford) and others. The computer and a trigger on the crank usually run this setup But what is this not possible for an older car install Coil on plug or Coil near plug (your choice0 Then run the 12v coil wire to the High Tension lead and let it run 12v dc down the "old spark plug wires to the new coil setup". if this works we can then makeup some regular 12/14g wire and run them from the distributor to the COP. What is wrong with this setup?? yes I know we would get rid of the 7 or 8 mm plug wires.

so I'm a little late
But I use (Vinegar) for rust removal. Even on some large parts. just soak the piece in vinegar and wait a day or two. take out of the solution, rinse, if there is stil rust, just dip it in again. For large pieces, I soak old thin rags in the vinegar, then place on the rusted area. Then I place plastic over it as a vapor barrier. I did the roof of my 74 dart this way inside rim, the splash shield, fender skirts. At $2.64 a gal. that is cheap rust removal.. Do not use on any type of spring. Best

Hi
I've had this "hood Ornament for a very long time just ran across it in my spare parts bin.. Don't know what year it is for. Never had the wings. It does have a factory piece inside, I have know idea what it is for. If your interested in it, let me know. BTW. It is in good + condition. no bubbles in the chrome the under side was painted yellow at some time. Best How about a photo you say, I did forget to upload them sorry Also a steering column for a push button trans. Can anyone tell me from what year this would have been? As an aside, For those that need rust removal I use Vinegar. good old 5% vinegar, $2.65 gal at Walmart.. It does a great job. on small to larger parts. The splash shield, fender skirts rusty wheels.

Wow At least no one jumped down my throat
https://www.finishing.com/faqs/chrome.shtml That is the information I used, read it. the two Nickel process is what makes the piece shine, For "show Chrome" it is not the chemical its the labor to polish the metal. I've thought about doing that myself, as I have 4 really 6 bumpers to chrome. but in this case I don't have the equipment for the job or maybe even the skill. That's not to say I could not do it but if you then take the piece in and they need to redo what you did what is the point. plus they get the chrome and nickel back. But take a look at the web site and read what they say. Best
